‎THE TROLL PEAKS ROMSDALEN

Ah!

Hey Tiny, are you coming?

Or you gonna hang there all day?

I'd worry about yourself, you old fossil.

The Troll Peaks.

Do you remember the fairy tale?

Papa.

Come on.

I still don't believe in fairy tales.

That one was your favorite.

Hmm?

Once upon a time, at a big troll wedding,

13 drunk trolls lost track of time,

the sun rose and turned them to stone, and now they're mountains.

Blah-blah-blah.

You do know that…

there's some truth to every fairy tale.

They're just mountain peaks.

You have to see it to believe it.

That's what they say.

It's the opposite.

You have to believe in something to see it.

Can you see them, Nora?

Go on, try.

Look.

Not with your eyes.

With your heart.

Believe.

Made of earth and stones.

With a snow-clad heart.

And icy bones.

From darkness they came,

and died

in the light.

‎20 YEARS LATER

‎THE ATLANTIC COAST NORTHWESTERN NORWAY

I understand that, sir,

but I can assure you, we are working around the clock.

The whole team is, uh-- What was that, sir?

I can't hear you, the reception out here is, uh…

Sir? Hello? Hello?

There's, there's…

There's wind and…

Schmuck.

Has anyone seen our fearless dino hunter?

She just started a new dig, Secord.

-Another one? -Mm-hmm.

Over there.

Of course.

You plan to dig up the entire beach, Nora?

Uh-oh.

I don't like that look.

I just got off the phone with the university.

Ah, fuck.

Look.

We've been up and down this coast for what, six months now?

-Nothing to show for it. -But we just need a little more time.

Nora. Please.

We're so close. I can feel it.

I'm running out of excuses. All right? And without financing…

Hell no. Screw the financing.

What are you doing?

If there was one thing my father ever taught me,

it was to never, ever…

…ever lose…

faith.

Ha!

You're shitting me, right?

Get your ass down here, Secord.

We've got something!

Nora, we got something, right?

Yes!

My God! Would you look at that?

From a time of giants. Just like a… like a fairy tale.

This is no fairy tale.

Look at you!

Hi, beautiful.

‎HJERKINN DOVRE MOUNTAINS

‎WE ARE BUILDING THE DOVRE RAILWAY

Let the mountain live! Let the mountain live!

‎TO HELL THROUGH A TUNNEL

Let the mountain live! Let the mountain live!

Bring in the explosives.

Everyone, out!

Let the mountain live!

Boo!

Okay, let's get to work!

-Okay. -Let's go, guys!

Huh?

Everybody out!

Get out! Now!

‎NORWEGIAN ARMED FORCES OPERATIONAL HEADQUARTERS, AKERSHUS FORTRESS, OSLO

I'm getting a message about high seismic activity in Dovre.

Where's Sigrid?

Requesting to send a reconnaissance aircraft to Dovre Mountain.

Did I miss something?

‎ØRLAND AIR BASE TRØNDELAG

Raven 4, standing by.

Raven 4, clear for takeoff.

HQ, this is Raven 4, approaching Dovre.

Officer on deck, ten-hut. General.

As you were.

HQ, are you seeing this?

-What? -We have visual here for you, sir.

Alert the Prime Minister.

‎THE PRIME MINISTER'S RESIDENCE OSLO

-Good Morning. -Good Morning.

-Prime Minister. -How very formal of you, Andreas.

The Minister of Defense will brief you on the way.

The only intel we have is from the recon aircraft, which has produced

these images here.

Oh my God. It looks like it could be a meteor crater.

The crew is on its way now to assess the situation.

Has word of this gotten out?

I have the media under control.

Oh, Is that so?

There's one more thing.

The planes took images of the area nearby.

As of now, we haven't been able to confirm

that the imprints in the landscape

are directly related to the incident.

But, uh, we're working on it.

Thanks, Fred.

What the heck is that? Huh?

They almost look like footprints. Right?

I… I guess I shouldn't have said anything. I'm not qualified.

That's right, yeah.

But we need to find someone who is.

Geologists. Archaeologists. Biologists.

Yeah. Ologists.

-Congratulations. -Thank you.

-Speech! Speech! -Yes!

Speech! Speech!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll do it.

Okay. Uh, "impossible", they said.

Absurd.

They even called us mad.

-Oh, you are mad! -Yes. Just a little bit.

But I think this proves that if you really have faith

in something…

What the hell?

Tidemann?

Nora Tidemann?

I'm here to escort you to Oslo immediately.

-Huh? -It's a matter of our national security.

Nora Tidemann?

Yeah.

Andreas Isaksen, advisor to Prime Minister Moberg.

You guys know that I dig up fossils, right?

I don't mean to be so mysterious.

-But this really is top secret. -Top secret.

So I've been told.

You'll get more information very soon.

Yeah, I heard that too.

You could've just called me.

Once you see, I think you'll understand why.

They don't include this area in the guided tour.

-Star Trek? -Sigrid and I have an ongoing thing.

-That sounded bad, not like that. -Dude!

You've dragged me out here from a project I spent years financing and planning.

Yeah? I didn't eat anything and I'm exhausted,

which is a really awful combination.

-I'm in the dark… -The reports we received have indicated…

…and I'm not getting one damn answer--

Hi.

This is Nora Tidemann. She's a professor of Paleontology.

Paleontology? Really?

Dinosaurs?

That's right. I study fossils.

Hmm.

Dinosaurs have been extinct for 65 million years, so…

Yes. Well, I guess we can cross dinosaurs off, then.

Yes. Continue, Lunde.

First of all, I have to be clear

that at this moment we cannot say with certainty

that this was not a military attack or act of terrorism.

But the reports so far indicate that the incident at Dovre

is geological in nature.

In addition to the crater in the mountainside,

a series of indentations were discovered in the landscape.

-Could it be a Karst? -Excuse me?

Sinkholes.

Water seeps through the mountain's porous crevices,

which dissolves calcium sediments beneath the ground.

This creates underground caverns, which ultimately collapse.

But it could also be the accumulation of large subterranean pockets of gas.

Methane?

Yes, another consequence of global warming.

Yes, well, I guess we better call Greta.

The demolition work could perhaps have caused a chain of explosions which--

Sorry.

Sorry.

Are you joking?

-Excuse me? -Are you joking? Hello?

I can assure you, miss, that this is deadly serious.

Mm… Okay.

But…

Everyone sees they're footprints, right?
