Magne and his classmates try to regroup after a tragic loss, while the police seem uninterested in getting to the truth. Gry stumbles on Vidar unmasked.

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

One of the mightiest gods
in Norse mythology,

Thor commanded the weather
and the forces of nature,

fought the enemies of civilization
and represented law and order.

You should try eating something, Magne.

Yuck! You put way too much sugar
in your coffee. We gotta go.

You have to put more clothes on.

Not necessary. It'll get warm today.

Put these on.

No.

Watch out for him a little bit, okay?



Have a nice day!

EPISODE 2
541 METERS

Hey, uh, how are you doing?

Uh, what actually happened up there?

I don't know.

Why did you even go up there?
The road was closed.

But that wasn't the way it...

But why did you leave her?

Okay, we have to go. Come on.

Did you see the new Facebook group

they put together in memory of Isolde?

No.

Hello, everybody. I know this would
normally be your history lesson,

but, uh, for obvious reasons
Erik is not here today.



I want you all to know that you...

Hi.

I just couldn't bear sitting at home.

Hi, everybody.

Yeah. I'll be fine.

- You sure?
- Yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes.

But the spring party on Friday will
naturally be cancelled out of consid...

No, no, no. Let's have the...
let's have the party as planned.

I'm sure that's what, uh, that's
what Isolde would have wanted.

We can therefore conclude that
Isolde was killed in a tragic accident,

caused by inclement weather.

She was paragliding with a large tandem
wing, which was struck by lightning.

This is most likely the point
when she lost her mobile phone.

It has not been located yet, so
if anyone finds it, please bring it to us.

The police consider
the investigations concluded.

I'll now pass you on
to your school psychologist. Sindre...

Yeah...

Hi, everyone.
Thank you for coming.

First and foremost
this is absolutely dreadful.

I want you to know that I am here
for you, if anyone needs to talk...

Especially you, uh...

Magne.

Magne, yes. Since you,
uh, witnessed the accident.

That must have been horrible.
And the rest of you too...

Just call or text me or, uh, middle of the
night, whatever, not on Thursdays,

'cause I'm busy. Otherwise, uh,
call any time... Give a shout.

I'll leave some of my cards here.

So just get in touch
if you want to talk or whatever...

If you feel the need.

Do you have a minute?

Isolde was an experienced paraglider
who knew the area well.

Why wouldn't she try
to avoid the power lines?

She was probably struck
by lightning and lost consciousness,

and that's why she couldn't
avoid the power lines.

But at that time
there wasn't any lightning yet.

Magne, there was
a thunderstorm that evening

and paragliding
during thunderstorms is dangerous.

Exactly. She'd never fly
in such conditions.

Maybe the,
the storm took her by surprise.

Magne, I truly understand
that you're upset, but the case is closed.

Hey, guys. So I'm standing

in front of the Jutul factory
here in Edda.

I've emailed them about a toxic sewage
from the metal facility just behind me.

But they haven't answered me yet.

Vidar Jutul! Vidar Jutul!
Could you answer a few questions?

I'm in a bit of a hurry.

I've taken water samples
in the area,

in the fjord around the factory,

and found an increased cadmium level.

We satisfy all the official standards.

You think
this could have something

to do with the dead fish in the fjord?

We satisfy all the official standards.

Why won't you
answer my questions?

I have a meeting with the mayor.

Absolutely. Yes.
Hey, hang on a second.

Hi, Turid.

Taking a taxi?

Yeah, somebody vandalized my car.

- Are you okay?
- Yes, sorry.

Looks like some jerk smashed
my windshield with a hammer.

Could you handle the practicalities
with the insurance company?

Mmm-hmm. Just forward
whatever you got to me by email.

Great, I'll do that right now.

There. Thanks.

Naturally, you can come
and take samples any time.

Just put it there.

Aren't you gonna help?
There are lots more outside.

You're doing just fine.

Magne? Did you go out and wreck Vidar
Jutul's car? With our sledgehammer?

Huh?

Laurits was here watching TV with me.

Put it there. You went out.

I wouldn't wreck somebody's car.

It says here,
Vidar writes in his insurance claim that

he was watching
the news at nine in the evening.

And then he heard his car get smashed.

But it makes no sense
for me to have done this...

No, it certainly doesn't make sense!

Then why are you telling me I did it?

Yeah, and why are you lying to my face?
Go to your room until you've made up

your mind to tell me
what really happened out there.

And then go and buy me a new hammer,
because I need my hammer.

PICK STARTING LOCATION

Hey.

The rest of us watch porn,
you watch Google Earth.

Kinky.

Here. It's from Mom.
It's for the new hammer.

EDDA SECONDARY SCHOOL

One, two, three, four, five, six...

282, 283, 284, 285, 286...

540, 541...

March 24th. I threw a hammer
a distance of 541 meters.

I checked the world record,
and it's 86 meters.

Join me in the sauna?

You'll never find out who threw it.
Someone's angry with you.

A fired employee,
a jealous husband or a furious woman.

But the humans like us.

We had an assembly at school today,
remembering that girl that died.

All the kids were crying.
I find that so difficult...

All those feelings.

And that big Seier kid started
to ask the police a lot of questions.

Magne? Turid's boy?

You had a thing for Turid back in the day,
didn't you? Have you seen her now?

That's what happens to them: They get fat,
and sick and grow old, and then they die.

It was me.

It was me who killed that girl.

Isolde.

I thought we had agreed
not to harm children.

She saw something up on the glacier.

The ice has retreated
much more than I had thought.

There's an opening into the tunnel.

I've got it under control.
It was an accident.

The police have already
closed the case. So It'll be fine.

But they haven't found the girl's phone.
So we must do that.

Don't you say a word to Fjor or Saxa.
The fewer people who know, the better.

You didn't just get carried away

as you already were on the mountain
looking for something to sacrifice...

I would never get carried away.

Never?

The social anthropologist works

with the social and cultural aspects
of the human society.

There are almost
no limitations as to what

a social anthropologist
can do research in.

Gry, Magne, Isolde. You will...

Um, I'm sorry.

Do you want me
to put you two into other groups?

No, no. We'll figure it out.
We just need more time.

Maybe I can come
by your place later to work.

Great. Good. And by the way,
thanks for the paper topic.

Just, uh, just be careful that your
entire project doesn't end up about how

it's only old white men
who are destroying the world and,

causing all the ice to melt.

Well, aren't they?

Is this yours?

Oh, that. That's ancient.
Probably doesn't fit anymore.

Do we have tea?

Gry's coming.

Oh right. His latest crush.

Oh dear.
Magne?

Magne!

Try to relax a little. Here, take this.

No.

Calm down.

I'll fix you two something,

and then all you need to do
is focus on being yourself, okay?

I mean, nearly yourself.

Go open the door...

"Social anthropologists look

at the development in a society in
connection with the values of its people.

In the following, we shall try to provide
such a social anthropological analysis."

You wear glasses?

What?

- Mmm-mmm. Uh, no. No.
- No?

No. I mean, I used to.

You're funny.

Is that good?

Funny's good.

- Where are you from, actually?
- Here and there.

Sorry, I, I have to say
it's kinda difficult to get to know you.

If there were one thing you could tell me
that says something about yourself,

what would it be?

Yesterday I discovered
I can throw a hammer half a kilometer.

Okay.

That's great, really, cause that's
incredibly far. Uh, but, um,

I think we should call it a day.

You coming to the party?

No.

327 please

Erik. It's such a tragedy.

Can you please let me know
if I can do anything for you?

I'm sorry.

The hero's journey has begun.

Hello there, everybody!
What's up with this crazy weather?

Yesterday it was 20 degrees
and today we got hail! But my rhubarbs

have started growing a month early, so
I just say "what's not to like?". Heh.

PAST WEATHER - EDDA

We'll keep it up here
on 104.5 with a lovely spring tune.

Way to go.

You really get off
on different stuff than the rest of us.

First it's Google Earth
and now the weather forecast?

What's up next? Medicare?

Police say Isolde was struck by lightning.

But here it says, the lightning
didn't start 'till an hour later.

Yeah, but, Magne, don't you think
the police know what they're up to?

Something has happened to me
since we came to Edda.

I can do stuff I couldn't do before.

Hmm, you still can't read.

I can throw a sledgehammer 541 meters.

Further, actually.

That night Isolde died
I threw it 1.5 kilometers.

It was the hammer I threw
that damaged Vidar's car.

Come on, nobody in the world can throw
a sledgehammer one and a half kilometer.

I can.

Okay.
Let's forget about this now,

and you join me for the party.

Well, what about Gry?

She'll probably also be there...

She thinks I'm a weirdo.

Yes, Magne, 'cause you are a weirdo,

who claims he can throw a sledgehammer
one and a half kilometer.

SPRING PARTY

No, that's no fun. Come on.

Yeah, that's a good idea.
Here, take it. Here.

Let me have a sip.

Oh, cool, where did you...

Yeah, that's right.
Hi, hi, boobies, how's it going?

You know what they would
say to you, Oscar? Do you know?

No?

They'd say, "Hey, you dork."

Yeah, yeah, but...

Yes, but you can't...

I can't control myself.

You look great.

Thanks.

Lemme see... There you go. So...

Have you seen the photos that were posted
in the group for Isolde?

Yeah, my mom and I went to the memorial
site and we, uh, lit some candles.

It was very emotional.

Yes, it's dreadful, so dreadful, really.

Hmm.

Wow.

Wow.

Welcome, everyone,
to the school's annual spring party.

You all look absolutely fantastic.

Beautiful girls and boys.

But we've been struck
by a profound tragedy.

It's touching to see
how you all stand together.

Yes, I guess I don't need
to remind you that tonight will be

a drug and alcohol-free event.

But, before the music and dancing begin,

I'd like us all
to send a collective thought to Isolde.

How can we honor
the memory of Isolde?

How can we show
what she meant to each of us?

When I think about Isolde,
I think of the gorgeous,

great, overwhelming nature

that was so dear to her.
I think of Vestlandet.

Cool entrance, bro.

Is that Mom's shirt you're wearing?

Do you imagine
she'll ever fit in this again?

Sorry, I think she's taken.

Yeah, that means he's taken, too.

Sorry.

Hey, hey, party, party.

Magnus! Good to see you.

Yo, I talked to my mom and she said

you'd been asking questions,
lots of new questions.

Leave things to the police.

Just take it easy. Party a little.

Enjoy life a bit.
Do like Mr. Laurits over here.

Hey, I think you should
just keep on partying.

Me and Mr. Laurits, we're gonna move on.

Hey...

Are you only into dull, blonde chicks?

Never set limits to your imagination.

I have a vivid imagination.

You really are quite different
from your brother.

Yeah, I hope so.

So tell me, what's he like?

Oh, he's, uh, fat, dyslexic
and has no friends. What can I say?

What the fuck
is up with the music?

Aren't you handsome men going to dance?

No.

What are you drinking?

Oh, just an orange drink.

Yeah, just soda.

But what does the principal prefer?

I think the principal prefers
something harder.

Hey.

Remember me?

- Magne. You came.
- Yeah.

- Uh, maybe you'd like to...
- Hey, Magne.

New jacket?

Yeah.

Mm. Enjoying yourselves?

If you're not gonna ask her
to dance then I will.

Stupid party!

- You shouldn't drink that water.
- Huh?

You shouldn't drink that water.

Oh, just...

Are you Isolde or something?
"Can't drink that..."

My bad. Sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Okay, I know that you were
close, uh, friends.

Mom says that you feel
so guilty about all of this and...

You don't have to, you know.
You don't have to.

My mom is an experienced cop.
She says these things happen.

Isolde chose to do this on her own.

Even though she was way experienced,

she chose to go flying
in a thunderstorm, right?

So it's just bad luck
that she hit the mountain, yeah?

Okay?

Hey, wait! What do you mean by,
"hit the mountain"?

My mom says the wind
in the thunderstorm were so strong

that she just flew
into the mountain side and poof...

What mountain side?
The story changes every time.

Are you guys ready to go to hell?

Okay.

Let's fucking turn it up, okay.

You're a good dancer.

Hey, party, party!

Let's get outta here
and find our own party.

- No, I don't think so.
- Uh, why?

You're kidding?

What have you taken?

Well, we're leaving. Come on!
I have a better party.

I think
you struck out there, dude.

Hi. Can we talk?

MOVING BOX

I've started sorting through her things.

The police changed their story again.

First they said it was lightning,
now they say she hit the mountain side.

Well, but it is dangerous to paraglide.

They don't even care at all about this.

- Wait a minute, Magne...
- Don't you get that?

No, but I can't...

It's not fair.

What do you think you're doing?

Her funeral is tomorrow.

And you just barge in here
with all this...

It was an accident.

You are going to have to
leave this to the professionals.

You're just a kid.

So please, just take it easy.

"Take it easy"?

What was that?

Maybe you should
come back inside for a little while.

It seems like you copied
all of my fucking playlists.

- You have this one?
- Yeah.

Awesome.
We have the same taste in music.

All right,
I'll see you there, man.

Guys, we're going over
to Anders, okay? His house?

They're gonna have to make up their minds.
Jesus Christ.

- That's that.
- Who's coming?

Uh, the usual suspects,
except Gry and Saxa, and Hilde.

So sorry, man. They... They're off to bed.

That's lame, man. I'm sorry for you.

Yeah, bummer.
But it also sucks for you, get it?

Shut the f...

So, what about your brother? Is he coming?

- Nah, that wasn't really his scene.
- Yeah, yeah.

No?

He's still upset
about what happened to Isolde.

Isn't everyone upset about what happened
to Isolde?

Even those who didn't know her

or didn't like her
are sorry about what happened to her.

- You been on Facebook?
- No.

Have you checked out Facebook lately?
It's become this big deal now.

Everybody's bringing flowers,
everyone's lighting candles,

and they're all taking selfies
while they're doing it.

Whoever mourns the most of all,
that's the coolest person in town.

It's complete bullshit, guys!
Just like totally fucked up.

Yeah.

There, look at that. It's like
a bloody shrine, for fuck's sake.

"You will always be in our hearts.

Many loving thoughts
from us all at the Edda Grill."

Hmm.

She never even went there anyway.

She thought their deep-fryer
was polluting or some shit

You've been here already.

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

Yeah, yeah, with David and Katrine.
But it wasn't like...

Well, it wasn't like...

What the fuck? You... You said
that you thought she was an idiot...

Yeah, but... Well, yeah...

The difference is, now she's a dead idiot.

Okay, man,
can you just calm down a little?

Which candle is yours?

Uh...

Is it... Is it the big one there
with the rose on it?

Put it out.

Hey, uh, are you serious?
Put it out?

Yeah, do it.

No.

I can do it for you.

That's...

- That's funny.
- What're you doing?

Hey, this'll go viral on Instagram.
It's fuckin' hilarious...

Fuck you! Fucking hell!
Fucking delete it!

Delete it!

Vidar Jutul: We didn't do
anything illegal

Mercury found in cusk in Edda

Heat record in the western region

What if Isolde was right?
That we are destroying the world?

You're definitely not wrong
to see it that way.

After all, it's you who'll inherit
all the shit that we've done.

I used to think like that myself.

What made you stop?

Well, unfortunately, Isi's mother died.

She was the rebel of the two of us.
Isolde got it all from her.

That was her personal diary.

I don't think
I have the right to look at that.

Are you sure?

I think she should be allowed
to keep her secrets.

On Instagram.

It was taken down,
but I managed to get a screenshot.

I'll take care of it.

So, why aren't you into Fjor?

Why I'm not into your brother?

Everyone is, kind of.

So, like, it's not very original,
if you know what I mean.

Even Laurits is into him.

Okay.

And, um...

Yeah, I'm not really sure
I want him to be my first one.

Your first?

Mm.

But, you have slept with someone?
Didn't you say...

Yeah, but, uh, I mean,
my first from school.

And Magne?

Are you two becoming friends?

No, we're just in the same group,
that's all.

You were at his place.

Yeah. But that was only to work
on the assignment.

Nothing else. What did you think?

He did manage to get
quite close with Isolde.

Didn't he?

Yeah, I guess so.

Do you know what they did together?

He was right there when she died.

- They went to the mountains...
- To do what?

I, uh, don't know.

It was only a joke.
It's deleted.

They once worshipped us. Do you remember?

They made sacrifices in our honor.

Today things are different,

but we're still of critical importance
to the people in this town.

We are in charge.
We decide who lives and who dies.

And these so-called small, ordinary humans
accept that it has a price.

But there are
certain things we just don't do.

So that we can continue to be what we are.

Do you understand?

So when you, as my...
My successor is caught pissing

on the memorial site
for one of the town's children...

You're actually pissing on me as well.

Hmm.

Where have you been?

The toilet.

I hate Spanx.

Magne, have you seen Laurits?

We're so late. Where is he?

Laurits!
Can I have a word with you?

The flower arrangements
were so pretty...

Did... Did we forget to lock the door?
