The Valhalla Murders (Brot)

Two Black Russians.

Yes?

Wait, he's my son too. I'll see him whenever I want.

I didn't do anything to him. Are you out of your mind?

Thor, don't let this ruin our night, man.

Oh, I'm sorry, babe! That fucking woman.

I never should have answered my phone.

That was Halla Olafsdottir speaking. The Weather Service is predicting

winds from the east, 18-28 meters per second.

The most extreme winds will be in the South, and they will

not be as severe in the North and East.

Some sleet or rain in the Southeast, but otherwise mainly dry weather.

The predicted temperature will be between zero and five degrees

and it will warm up in the North.

Hi.

Hi.

- Can we talk for a minute? - What? Yes.

- Maybe inside? It's rather cold. - Sure.

- Were you at the gym? - I was at the pool.

Isn't the pool full of old people at this time of day?

Is there any room to swim?

Kata, your phone.

Kata.

Kata, are you there? - What, have you missed me?

- No, listen, this is about Kari. - Oh, what's wrong?

I'm just worried about him. I think he started drinking.

Why do you think that?

I had a dinner party this weekend.

After dinner, I was going to offer people cognac.

My cognac bottle was half empty. Someone drank half the bottle.

Okay, strange.

Are you sure you didn't just drink it and forget?

No, that wasn't the case.

Plus, he's out every night with these new friends I don't know.

- All he does is hang out. He never reads. - He's 16 years old.

He's a freshman. He's meeting a bunch of new people.

What were you like at his age?

Hey, don't change the subject.

This isn't about me, it's about Kari.

- Don't be such a square! - Square? What do you mean, square?

You may not have noticed, but I see the changes in him.

- Sorry, what are you implying? - Nothing at all.

- Are you saying I'm not doing a good job? - No, I didn't say that.

- Of course not. - Kata, don't take this so...

- Why do you have to be like this? - Sorry, what?

- Seriously? Is this... - Were you saying something?

Work call!

- Can we talk to him? - Sure, I'll talk to him tonight.

No, can we talk to him?

Yes. Let's meet here tonight.

I'll lock the door behind me.

Hey! What do you think you're doing?

Can't you see this area is closed off?

- Yeah, I just didn't know... - You can't see the tape?

What's going on here?

You need to keep a better eye on your people,

so they don't just wander into a restricted area.

I could charge you for contaminating a crime scene.

I was just getting...

She's just messing with you, Kiddi.

Can you comment on this? Was it a murder?

- You know I can't, Selma. - Just one comment, Kata!

Kata?

Toti, can you go stand over there by the tape?

Do we have a positive ID?

No wallet, no ID. Ten stab wounds, at least.

Time of death?

Twenty-four hours ago, maybe. Hard to say exactly due to the frost.

- Is Miro in the country? - Yeah, his plane leaves tonight.

Good. I'm not waiting two weeks for an autopsy.

Blood spatter indicates the killer held him close when he stabbed him.

- Good God, what's with the eyes? - Yeah, pretty disturbing.

- Was he a transient? - Probably.

There are needle marks on both his arms.

Oh? We should know the guy, then.

Have you prepared your speech?

Huh?

You know the entire department is invited to a meeting later today.

Can we just focus on the task at hand?

I know who this is.

Open up! Police! Open the door!

Open the door, or we'll break it down!

- Are you alone? Is anyone else here? - No! No! Stop!

- Give me your hands! - Ow, ow! No! You're hurting me!

- Calm down! - You're hurting me. I didn't do anything!

- Is she armed? - No, she's clean.

Calm down!

You're hurting me! Help! Help!

Iris, Iris! Listen to me!

- Help me! - Okay, wait!

What happened to Thor?

- Iris, what happened to Thor? - Help me!

Listen to me. What happened to Thor?

Iris?

This is pointless. You have to take her to the station.

We're going to turn you over.

Ow, ow!

Come on, let's go.

Ow, ow!

Yes, yes, ow, ow!

Can I do anything to help you?

No, just take her down to the station and get some samples.

Then put her in a cell. She needs to sleep it off before I can talk to her.

Okay.

Hi.

Hi Kata.

Did you get a statement from the girl?

- Iris? - Yes.

No, she was in no condition to be interrogated.

- You think she did it? - I don't know.

- Could it be tied to a drug debt? - Maybe, I'll find out later today.

But, Magnus, I need more people.

We need to review all of the CCTV footage...

- Yes, Helga and Erlingur will be on hand. - Okay, great!

I'm working on my own case. I don't have time for anything else.

A 30-year-old skeleton can wait! This matter takes precedence.

What about the photos that we released to the press?

Someone out there is bound to recognize the necklace or the lighter.

Magnus, we need to follow this up.

If there are any developments, we'll investigate.

In the meantime, you'll help Kata.

Helga, can I have a word with you?

Hi.

Hi.

Hey, can you get me everything we have on Thor Ingimarsson?

Is that the deceased?

- Yes, he has a criminal record. - I'm on it...

Hold on, there's more!

After that, go through all the CCTV footage from the harbor

and surrounding area.

Ugh, Kata.

- Hello. - Hi. Are you free?

- Now? - Have you heard about the murder?

- Yes, fuck. - Meet me at the Bullan burger joint.

Okay.

Hey, champ.

Alright, nice.

- New jacket? - This thing? It's vintage.

You have to look the part, you know?

What can you tell me about Thor? Huh?

Where'd he get all that cash? Was he importing?

Thor is a dumbass. Or, know you, he was a dumbass.

It depends on how you look at it.

Is it true he was stabbed 50 times?

- Did he owe anyone money? - Nah. He's just some nobody.

That's why it's so fucking weird.

You know, he was a strange guy. He never worked shit.

He did a bit of drug dealing back in the day.

Tough guy.

But, you know, nothing to speak of.

But recently, all of a sudden, bang!

He's living like a fucking king. That money stank, big time.

- Was he dealing again? - No... He was far too lazy.

He was a total dumbass.

His ex-wife can tell you what a dirtbag this guy was.

Okay, I see.

- I can't say this comes as a surprise. - Oh? Were you in touch with Thor?

I spoke to him yesterday and told him not to come near our son ever again.

The last time he went to see him, he came home drugged out of his mind.

What's wrong with you?!

He used some of that horrible shit Thor had lying around.

That fucking shithead.

- Did Thor have any enemies? - He had nothing but enemies.

Where were you last night?

If I had wanted to kill him, I would have done it a long time ago.

Who knows, maybe I would have done it if it hadn't been for my boy Fannar.

When's the funeral?

There has to be an autopsy first. Why do you ask?

I'll probably get saddled with it.

- So, how are you? - I'm good.

Anything new about the skeleton?

Yeah, we know it was a 12-to 16-year-old boy.

- Oh. - Yep.

What can you tell me about our new friend here?

Him? Well, he's dead.

Okay, so he tested positive for alcohol, amphetamines and cocaine.

Ten stab wounds, seven on the front and three on his back.

These ones went straight through the artery.

- And the knife? - Long and narrow, about 15 centimeters.

- Crime of passion? - Yes, it looks that way.

Could a woman have done it?

No, I don't think so. You'd need a lot of force to inflict such deep wounds.

What about the adrenaline rush in a fit of rage?

Maybe... But, you know what, I'm 100% sure the perpetrator is a man.

Take a look at this. Help me, take him and help me.

- What? - Just give me a hand, will you?

This wound is high on his torso, meaning the knife was held like this.

This is a vertical stab wound, so the killer was his height or taller.

- Can we let him go now? - Of course.

These wounds over here are deeper, so maybe they came first.

- What about the eyes? - Ah yes, the eyes.

This is something I don't see often. This is very, very unusual.

- Were they cut before or after he died? - After, a straight cut across the eyes.

Why take that risk instead of fleeing the scene?

You know, I haven't the slightest idea.

Hey, I heard they're going to promote you tonight

as head of Criminal Investigations.

Right?

Miro, I'm not going to discuss that now.

I'm just happy for you, that's all.
