Beforeigners (Fremvandrerne)

- Are you going to jump? Do it! - It's your turn!

- Hang on a second. - It's not even that high!

- There's something in the water. - Like what?

- Excuses? - Where?

- Right there! I'm not joking! - There's nothing there!

- Oh, fuck! - Jesus!

- Oh my God. - Yeah, it's nice.

- It's incredible. - Yeah.

Would you like a cup of tea?

I'm good, thanks. My extra shift's about to start.

I'll just sign the contract and get on my way.

- As long as the missus is happy? - Very happy.

Okay.

- What's wrong? - Nothing, it's just a lot of money.

No need to worry.

Buying property in the city center is a safe investment. You'll be fine.

- Sierra two-zero, over. - Excuse me.

Sierra two-zero.

- Were you the one who called this in? - Yes. They're over here.

They just appeared in the water. I have no idea where they came from.

One of them almost drowned.

Okay. Let's stay nice and calm, all right? We're here to help you.

Calm down.

Here are some blankets, so you can keep warm. Here you go.

- I found someone who speaks Icelandic. - But I've only got two minutes.

It's better than nothing. Do you understand them?

Hi, my name is Sveinbjørn. Where do you come from?

Sorry, can you slow down a bit?

Where are you from?

- They're definitely not Icelandic. - Really?

They speak some sort of Old Norse. I don't understand all of it.

But they appear to think that they're from the past.

Okay.

Hi. Put me through to psychiatric emergency services, please.

What can you tell us about the situation?

It is the same as we've just seen...

I'm still here.

The lack of organization indicates authorities were caught off guard.

Are there any signs of the numbers decreasing?

We're trying to figure out if this will end soon,

or if we've only seen the beginning of a global event.

Thank you, Kelly. Reports seem to confirm

that this is happening all over the world.

There are no official explanations. Unofficial observations on social media

all point in the same direction: That individuals from the past appear...

Sierra two-zero to zero-one.

Send all your men to the opera house immediately. Over.

A FEW YEARS LATER

It's time for the arrival update. How was the night?

Nice and quiet.

We had a group arrival this morning, but it shouldn't affect boat traffic.

The Directorate's annual report is coming up.

What can you say about the numbers?

We have 13,000 arrivals so far this year,

which is about the same as last year.

There is still no deviation regarding time periods:

All registered arrivals are from the stone age,

the Norse era and the 19th century,

Thank you to Tore Stokke from the Arrival Directorate.

Dad?

a reminder that international arrival numbers...

- Hi. Ready? - Yeah.

It reeks of rotten fish from the ventilation system.

If you don't kick them out... Hi. Yes, I will! What?

What's wrong?

The power outage knocked out my hair dryer. Does my hair look crazy?

No, I think it looks nice.

- Very "Stone Age chic". - You're hilarious, dad.

Seriously...

COMMERCIAL PROPERTY FOR RENT

We interrupt the High Commissioner's statement.

It appears we've had another year without findings from any member country

that can shed light on the reasons for the time migrations.

There will now be news for listeners from the 19th century.

Good morning.

- Speak soon. - Yes. Bye, now.

- Hi! - There you are, sweetheart!

- Hi, sweetie. Did you have a nice time? - Yes.

- Hi. - Welcome!

This is zero-one, we have a potential DDA on Tjuvholmen, over.

I'm on my way.

A female beforeigner has washed ashore. Let's call it "drowned" and go to lunch.

That's all the information you need.

Hi. Police. Were you the one who found her?

- Yes. - Can you show us where she is, please?

This is our twelfth floater this year.

I don't see why we need to register them before the ambulance picks them up.

We've registered eleven, we can handle one more.

- Ready? - Yes.

Just leave your things there. Oh, you dropped...

- I'm not sure what this is. - Thanks.

- Let's do this. - Okay.

Today's a big day for our division.

I'm proud to introduce you to our first employee

with a multi-temporal background.

Please welcome Alvfrid Enginnsdottir.

Alfhildr.

Of course. "A beloved child has many names", as they say.

Anyway, I'm sure Alvilde's extensive experience will provide us

- with interesting perspectives. - I am a certified police officer,

- in case anyone was wondering. - Of course.

Anyway... There's cake!

Is it just me, or is the ocean air making you crave sushi?

Let's get the form done before we think about lunch.

"Deceased During Arrival" or "Jumper"?

Her hair and nails don't appear to have been cut with scissors.

These are bitten. DDA.

Her tattoos look prehistoric.

The log says there was a flash at 4 AM.

That matches the time she floated ashore.

- Enter that as her TOA. - Not bad, Poirot.

"Cause of death" is drowning. We submit the form

and let the ambulance service take over.

For fuck's sake, what's the matter?

- Tango two-one to U05. - U05 responds.

DDA at Sørenga with onlookers and possible trouble.

- Requesting assistance. - How much do you need?

Forensics confirmed that what I found were petechiae.

Congrats. I guess I won't make it to bridge tonight.

But that doesn't necessarily rule out drowning as the cause of death?

There were petechiae underneath her eyelids, too.

Oh, Haaland... You've made a right mess.

We're done here.

- Ah, the journalist's here. - The journalist?

She's from an online newspaper for beforeigners.

Just smile and say you're excited, you'll be fine.

I'm right outside the museum, where a body was found earlier today.

The police have blocked off the area, and I've seen forensics on the scene.

- Are we talking a murder here? - It's too early to say.

The police are secretive. I've covered many cases with drowned beforeigners,

and this is completely different.

- Hi. - Hey!

- What's going on over there? - The management has completely lost it.

Our department's struggling, and they go and hire a beforeigner mascot.

The girl is straight out of the Police Academy.

- Great. And smile! - Big day. Big day.

How about one where I pick her up, and she gives a big thumbs up?

- That's fine, we've got what we need. - Okay.

What are your thoughts on the beforeigner woman

who was found murdered on Tjuvholmen? Any indications of hate crime?

Hate crime..?

Where did you hear that the woman was murdered?

- Are you taking notes? - You're not familiar with the case.

Does that mean the police doesn't prioritize murders on beforeigners?

Of course not. Please stop writing.

We agreed to an interview with our new employee...

I will write whatever I find useful.

Honestly! A feel-good story is a feel-good story.

That's an unwritten rule of media relations.

Perhaps you're too inexperienced to know that?

I've been a journalist since the 1870s, so I'm not completely green.

Then you're old enough to understand that this interview is over.

- Thank you. - Thanks.

Harald? The Chief is waiting in the conference room.

She wants to see you and Haaland immediately.

- Hi, Harald. - Hi.

Hi, Lars. I hear the Tjuvholmen incident hasn't been ruled a regular drowning.

Turns out it's a bit more complicated.

Forensics think the cause of death is strangulation.

That's not what we need now.

We'll need a senior detective for this. Who's available?

No one, they're all threatening to resign because of the workload.

- I can do it. - You?

- I found her. - You're on sick leave.

Aren't you being reviewed for chronic drowsiness or something?

I'm trying out a new medication.

- I'm ready to increase my workload. - What kind of medication?

I don't remember what it's called. It's some natural remedy.

Let me be clear: No one doubts your competence as a police officer.

- No? - Our handling of beforeigner cases

has been harshly criticized. Putting someone on sick leave

- in charge of a murder case... - Despite my health issues...

I have an idea.

What if we team Lars up with our most recent addition?

Of course! We'd be covered in terms of communication and police expertise.

The department mascot in charge of a murder investigation?

I thought you were better than that.

Look at her! She's clearly not qualified.

Where are we going?

To the port police, to find those who arrived with the victim.

I never thought I'd be assigned to a murder case on my first day.

I'm a bit overwhelmed myself.

Cool song.

- Is it Bruce Springstones? - Something like that.

OPENING GROUP CALLED "B4"

A new member joined the group: TORFINN

- Look who it is! Long time, no see. - Yeah.

- What's going on? - My groin got scratched up.

- Better safe than sorry. - My God...

- Were you two working last night? - No, we clocked out at 11 PM. Why?

A beforeigner woman, possibly murdered, was found at Tjuvholmen.

Was there a prehistoric woman in the group last night?

Not according to the report.

They were dropped off at the transit reception center. You could check there.

- Who's this lovely lady? - Right. This is Alfhildr.

- Jeppe and David. - Alf..?

- Alfhildr. - Alfhildr? Is that Norse?

- Yes. It's my first day. - Let's go for a cup of mead someday.

I'll give you some input. About the job, that is.

Sorry, Jeppe almost had his knob torn off.
