Beforeigners (Fremvandrerne)

THE FINNMARKSVIDDA PLATEAU YEAR 1031

- Who are you, stranger? - Alfhildr Enginnsdottir.

I seek Tore from Bjarkøy, the slayer of Olaf the Stout.

What do you want with him?

To kiss him where the sun doesn't shine.

Greetings, fatherless woman. I hear you're looking for a man?

Yes, the one they call Tore Hund.

- Have you seen him? - Seen him I have not.

My outward vision faded away with the summer.

But he was here.

What did he want?

He asked about the lake with a thousand lights.

Where is it?

Sometimes here... Sometimes there...

But where was he headed?

Please, that man is everything to me.

Yes, he is quite the ladies' man, this Tore.

You're not the first person to ask for him.

Like I said to the girl with the flame hair,

only Ravgga knows where Tore is now.

Then let me speak to Ravgga.

I see a place where the cities shine like stars...

Where the houses are as tall as mountains,

and words can travel with the wind.

BEFOREIGNERS

The police have no new leads in the case

with the beforeigner woman at Tjuvholmen.

She was murdered after arriving in a flash in the Oslofjord.

This is the first incident of violence against a newly-arrived in Norway.

The Minister of Justice...

- Voice command activated. - Google "trawl".

- Here's what I found about "troll". - No...

Google "pelagic trawl".

I'm sorry. I couldn't find "paraplegic brawl" in the music library.

No...

Did you climb down? You're mad!

- Please back away. - I'm with the police.

Mighty mongrel! I'm afraid of heights!

Who were they?

Bohemians who claim to have sole right to drop selling.

I see.

If they come back, call me.

Okay, if they come back, just run.

Good advice.

Several speeches at today's memorial for the beforeigner woman

who was found dead at Tjuvholmen, were critical of the Oslo police.

Haaland! Can you make some talking points

for my session on the news radio?

Not now, I'm afraid.

Hey. You may have been onto something.

- I won't fall for it again. - Not the monster. The Norse girl.

- She saw something in the water. - Okay?

Come on.

Look at this.

We believe the marks found on the woman can come from one of these.

We're looking for someone catching beforeigner women with a trawl bag.

Fuck you, Navn!

It's the same fun every time.

Aren't you going to leave those poor bunnies alone?

I need my protein. Do you think this body comes for free?

Fine, cave boy. Save some for tonight.

Coastal Administration sent us last year's sales

of professional fishing equipment in the region.

Print all sales of trawls and similar products.

We're looking for buyers who aren't in the industry.

But this is several hundred pages!

Yes, that's why you have to sort it.

Is this a practical joke?

No, Alfhildr. This is police work.

- Is this a bad time? - No, come in.

Have you seen the news?

The woman is everywhere.

But you thought you could go on like nothing happened?

No, that was our mistake.

We're taking the necessary measures.

I scrubbed the boat myself and burned fishing stuff.

It's un-enough.

The girls must be hidden until this blows away.

Okay? And where are we going to hide them?

We have some barracks on Hovedøya.

- That's in the red zone. - Exactly. So it's a good hiding place.

This won't work. HC's going to snap.

Ask yourselves: What's worse? If HC snaps, or if Navn snaps?

So beforeigner cases are a priority with the police?

Yes. And in the Tjuvholmen case, one of the main investigators

is actually a true Viking. The criticism is unjustified.

We have a policy on this show that we avoid using the V-word.

- The V-word? - We prefer "of Norse descent".

Right. Of course. My apologies.

Alex?

I found some footage on a web site with arrival videos.

It was recorded near Hovedøya on the night of the murder.

The clip wasn't relevant, but could you check for more raw footage?

Yeah, send me a link, and I'll take a look.

Lars? Someone's here to see you.

- Well. - What are you doing here?

- You're not answering your phone. - I've been busy.

- This isn't a good time, either. - Not a good time?

Did you think it was a good time for us to be tricked?

- Tricked? - Yes.

- What's this about? - Don't play dumb, Lars.

You know we told Ingrid no on getting in on that russebuss.

The bank confirmed that the money came from your account.

Maybe. Divorced parents often disagree about their kids' Russ-celebration.

Lending Ingrid 10 000 kroner behind our backs isn't anywhere near normal.

- I don't like your tone. - You don't like my tone?

Where did you get that money anyway?

I thought you were too broke to pay child support?

Darling? This isn't how we agreed to address this problem.

I'm sorry, but it's my daughter we're talking about.

Right. It doesn't feel too good to be kept in the dark, does it?

Is that what this is about? Is this some kind of payback?

I've never undermined you like this! Never!

Listen. If you'll allow me, Marie...

I recently attended a seminar with a family psychologist

who is an expert in diverse constellations.

I should ask if she can meet us to help sort through this mire of passions?

- Actually, that's a great idea. - I don't think so.

This was a severe breach of trust. That trust needs to be restored.

We'll notify you of the time and place.

Alfhildr?

I got a call from the National Gallery.

They have a person in custody who wants to speak with you.

- With me? - I didn't catch the name.

They left a strange message. You used to take walks with a dog named Tore?

Enginnsdottir, I'm with the police.

You look good.

- When did you get to this time? - This is my second summer.

Why didn't you contact me sooner?

I saw you on the B4 frændi group.

But things didn't end well between us back in the old days.

That happens when you go after someone else's man.

Can we forget about that nonsense?

Nice to see you, shieldmaid.

What is it?

I'm with the police now. Warriors don't get authorization for that.

What did you put as your "original profession"?

- Farmer's wife. - Farmer's wife? You?

You couldn't milk a cow for a fathom of gold!

Let's drop that. Why were you arrested?

I ripped a false drawing of Tore. Apparently it's worth thousands.

In that case, I don't know if I can help you.

Do I have to bring up that time when I saved your skinny ass in Bjarmaland?

This is completely ruined.

Hello. I hear you're considering reporting this incident?

Of course! This is one of the most severe cases of vandalism we've had!

Did you know that the woman fought at Stiklestad?

She's considering a counter-suit for triggering PTSD.

It's not a problem,

you just have to document that everything's in order here.

What do you mean when you say "in order"?

That you have warning signs in Norse and Mesolithic

by the entrances to sections with trauma-triggering artwork.

- Thank you so much. - Don't mention it.

Now it's time to celebrate.

I'm in the middle of something at work...

Come on! Don't leave your old sister hanging!

Give us two fax stews and a king-size horn of mead.

Hello!

HERE'S ALL THE FOOTAGE I FOUND ON THAT DATE. ALEX.

We bring thanks for your guardian angeling.

That's really not necessary.

We won't take no thanks as an answer.

I guess you should come inside.

I'm not sure it's good for him to watch this.

Who doesn't like stabbing and naked girls?

Yes, but he's...

- Where's his mother? - We lost her in the salt.

On our way over.

I'm trying to be his rock.

Hey.

All things considered, you're doing a great job, my friend.

Thank you.

This is the first time someone in this time

has friend-called me and meant it.

And you? Where is your baby mother?
