Trom (2022) s01e01 Episode Script

1
- Mama?
- Yes?
What would you rather, only eat
with a spoon or a fork, forever?
That's a hard question to answer.
In Asia they use spoons instead of
knives, and I love soup so
I think I have to go with the spoon.
Then how would you cut
vegetables, fish and meat?
I'd cook the vegetable till it was
soft enough to cut with the spoon.
But then you don't get the crunch,
that's the best
That's true. But that's why
we have teeth. To bite with.
- Have you finished eating?
- Yeah.
Go get ready.
What's wrong?
- Are you alone?
- Yeah.
We have a problem.
They're saying
they won't air the interview.
What do you mean?
A lawyer came by the studio.
You're joking.
Threatening us with court.
They came by my house last night.
Told us to bury the story,
for our own good.
They can't just censor us like this.
We'll just go to another station.
They'll all say the same.
Now I'm worried about
Kirstin and the baby too.
I don't think
I want to take this further.
So you're saying
All our work's for nothing,
and Ragnar gets away with it all?
I don't know. Let's meet,
we'll figure something out.
I think we need help.
I'm taking Turið to school,
then going to the Town Hall.
Meet me first. I've got the USB,
we have to find out what's on it.
Yeah. I'll call you
when I'm on my way.
Take your water bottle.
Get your jacket,
I'll come right away.
Turið
Remember what I told you
if strangers come up to you?
Don't talk to them, okay?
Have fun.
Páll, what do we do now?
We need to give the story
to someone else. Someone abroad.
They're obviously afraid of
the information we have.
You're in just as much danger as me.
They could come after you too.
I think you should drop
the protest meeting tonight.
We can't just give up
Think of your family. Think of Turið.
You're putting everyone around you
in danger.
Hold on
There's something wrong with my car!
Páll, can you hear me?
I can't control the car!
Páll?
Páll!
Come on
Páll!
Just like the old days.
Except I'm not five now,
I don't drink cocoa.
- Oh, come on
- Okay, I'll give him coffee.
We also have a gift for you.
It's for a Faroese waistcoat.
For real?
You'll get it fitted next week.
Isn't it expensive?
Yeah, but you're becoming
a grown man now.
Hello.
Yeah.
Of course, I'll be there shortly.
This doesn't look good.
No
What do we know?
I was close by, when I heard
the notice from police dispatch.
Who was driving?
Páll Hansen.
But Sonja á Heyggi called
the emergency services.
Was she in the car too?
No, she was on the phone to him
when it happened
And how is he?
Alive, but he didn't look good
And this is quite interesting.
It looks like a front wheel came off,
before the car rolled down here.
Any witnesses?
Not as far as I know.
We're hoping security cameras
on the windmills caught it all.
What else did Sonja say?
She demanded
we double-check the car.
She was adamant
that it wasn't an accident.
Okay
then we need to talk to her again.
She agreed to come in
to make a statement
but she hasn't yet,
and she's not answering her phone.
Hey, Sonja
What do I have to do
to be taken seriously here?
What's going on?
You do nothing
about the threats I get!
I get bombarded with messages
on social media.
Now they've been in my home!
I found this bloody whale meat
in my daughter's bed!
Let's try and calm down a bit
I want police protection
for my daughter.
Sonja, this is just
I understand why you're afraid.
It's probably just another prank.
You break the law yourself
as an activist.
You're practically asking for it.
Why do you claim
the car crash wasn't an accident?
You're not going to help me.
Sonja, I can't help you
if you don't tell me what's going on.
Find out what happened to Páll,
and you'll know
who's sending me threats.
This isn't an accident.
Sonja?
Oh, hey, Kirstin
What are you doing here?
I just wanted to see how he's doing.
You've got nerve showing up here
You think I don't know
what's gone on between you?
It's really not what you think.
Everything you touch falls apart.
I don't want to see you here again.
Leave, now, and stay away! Get lost!
Hey mum, are you home?
Can you do me a favour?
- Hey
- Hey.
Thanks for taking her.
Did something happen?
No. I just need to be alone
for a while.
You're going to stay with Omma
for a few days, okay?
Listen and do as she says.
I don't understand,
where are you going?
It's only for a few days.
We'll see each other again soon.
I promise.
Bye, dear. Love you.
What did I do? Ask me what I did.
I put it in the freezer.
It's definitely not going to waste.
What's so funny?
We were just talking about Sonja.
Like he says, it's not every day
we get fresh whale meat in here.
Would you think it's funny
if they threatened your little girl?
Weren't you two supposed
to investigate her break-in?
Yes, we went there.
No one was there.
No car, door locked, curtains drawn.
I put the report there.
Put it on my desk,
then go and check again.
Do your police work properly
and show some bloody respect.
Any news?
We've got some CCTV footage of Páll
before the car crash.
Sonja still isn't answering
or returning my calls.
Nor has she shown up for work.
So I'm still trying to reach her.
There's no other car in sight
before he comes into frame.
Suddenly, he seems to start speeding.
He starts losing control
of the car
This is before the front wheel
comes off and he spins off the road.
It's the only footage we have?
Yes, that's all we have.
Have we spoken to his wife?
No, not yet.
Let's do that. She might provide
a bit more information.
How was he when he left home?
How did he seem?
Fine. He's been struggling
with a cold, but otherwise nothing.
You haven't noticed anything
out of the ordinary lately?
No, he's been working a lot.
Maybe we haven't talked as much,
but
Then I saw him together with Sonja.
I saw them in the car
and going into a hotel together.
- Karla. Anita.
- Hey.
We had to put him in a medically
induced coma for the time being.
For how long?
It depends. Long enough to stabilise
him and his blood pressure.
His brain needs time to heal.
Once he's stabilised,
we'll do a CT scan
to assess him for traumatic injuries
to his head, neck, chest and stomach.
After that,
we can slowly wake him up again.
- So he's going to make it?
- Yeah.
But you have to be prepared,
the longer he is in a coma,
the longer he needs to recover.
The nature of his injuries might
cause some loss of brain function.
Only time will tell.
Why all this secrecy?
They fire me but tell the media
I've resigned without notice.
They follow me everywhere,
threaten me and my family.
A few days ago
my kids' dog was run over.
This involves more than one person
or party
This runs deep.
It's not just the big corporations.
The government too.
The judicial system. The police.
These people are really dangerous.
Hannis Martinsson?
You were born in the Faroes?
Yeah.
I hear it's so beautiful there.
I haven't been there myself,
but maybe one day I'd be so lucky.
Your return from the US
was flagged in our system
after you were detained for 24 hours.
And deported
for working without a permit.
Plus intrusion on private property.
You've had a hard drive confiscated?
They also took my pen.
Said it could be used as a weapon.
That's just protocol.
What exactly is your line of work?
I'm an investigative journalist.
What do you investigate?
Corporations.
Politicians.
The police.
You were detained
by security guards, going through
a waste container
in a private company basement.
What were you doing there?
I was looking for some
papers that'd been thrown out.
What papers?
A report that could expose
illegal industrial pollution.
The real reason
I was detained and deported
was that I interviewed
the "wrong" people.
Who of course were the right people,
who could expose these illegalities.
That's it. Is there anything else
you want to know?
If not, I'd love to get my pen back,
if possible.
Returning your pen
might be a little difficult for me
I'll have a look at this.
Back in a few minutes.
Okay, Hannis Martinsson
That's alright.
Everything looks fine.
You just need to sign here,
then you're free to go.
Take your time packing your bags.
I'll be back in a bit.
Hey Hannis
My name is Sonja.
I've tried calling you,
but it seems your phone is off.
I've been trying to think
how I should reach out to you
Then I thought a video might be
slightly more personal. Never mind
This is just a shot in the dark.
I don't know if you remember
my mum, Aurora. Aurora a Heyggi.
She finally told me about you.
She told me you're my father.
Hey, dad.
Hey, dad.
But that isn't the only reason
I'm trying to reach you.
I'd like to ask
for some journalistic advice.
I'm working on something
An investigation,
similar to those you do.
I'm beginning to worry
about my safety.
And the safety of my daughter
your granddaughter.
My number is 737050.
Call me.
I'm really hoping we can talk.
You'll be allowed
to travel again tomorrow.
Have a nice trip onward.
Give my best to the Faroes.
Thanks.
Sonja?
Turið?
Sonja
Dear passengers, we're just waiting
for our last passenger to board.
Then we'll be on our way shortly.
Thank you.
Isn't it Hannis?
Ragnar!
So?
What brings you back to the rocks?
Just a story I'm working on.
Okay? What about?
That's what I need to figure out.
If I can help you in any way,
let me know.
I have a few connections
that might prove handy.
Good day.
How can I help you?
Downstairs sent me.
I'd like to report a missing person.
Yeah?
It's my friend Sonja.
Sonja á Heyggi.
Sonja á Heyggi?
Can I help with anything?
I think my friend has gone missing.
Sonja á Heyggi.
What makes you think that?
We were supposed to meet
at a protest meeting last night.
Sonja was meant to give a speech.
When was the last time you saw her?
We were on the phone yesterday.
She said she was on her way.
Someone had broken into her house.
I went by this morning, it's locked.
I've tried calling,
but there's no answer.
I'm worried something happened.
Maybe on her way out west.
She also told me she'd received
several threats recently.
This just isn't like her.
Where was the meeting held?
By Gásadalur.
Let's go for a drive.
Come.
Welcome home.
Thanks.
Where are you headed?
Tórshavn.
Shall I take your bags?
She's told me about you.
She told me you're my father.
Hey, dad
You're sure she was headed here?
She said so.
We haven't seen any signs
of an accident.
That's where the protest meeting was.
By the old boat landing?
Maybe she's out sailing
with the Guardians
That's odd
What is it?
She's been using this car lately.
Don't touch anything!
I don't remember seeing this car
here yesterday.
Hi, this is Hannis.
Is this Sonja?
I'm Karla Mohr, head of investigation
at Tórshavn police.
Sorry, I was trying to reach a Sonja.
I must have called a wrong number.
No, this is Sonja's phone.
Can I talk to her?
Sonja isn't here right now.
Excuse me, what was your name?
Hannis Martinsson.
Hello?
Is that Sonja's phone?
Karla here. A car needs to be towed
to the garage from Gásadalur.
And we need to put out a notice
for Sonja á Heyggi.
We might have a missing person.
Sonja á Heyggi
is now reported as missing.
If we don't hear from Sonja
in the next few hours,
I'll initiate a nationwide search.
Durita, can you prepare
a press release,
asking anyone who's seen her
in the last 48 hours to come forward?
Dann, set up a communication centre
for the public to contact us on.
Gísli, follow up with the court
on those digital search warrants
to find out
who's been sending Sonja threats.
Anita, you're questioning
her friends, family and colleagues.
I want every single stone turned.
That's what it takes. Get to work.
POLICE
Karla?
Hold on a second.
There's someone here to see you.
About Sonja.
Okay.
I'll call you back.
Good evening. Karla Mohr.
Did something happen to Sonja?
Sorry, I didn't catch your name.
Hannis Martinsson.
We talked on the phone earlier
on Sonja's number.
And how do you know Sonja?
I don't.
I just arrived from Copenhagen.
Sonja left me a message,
asking me to contact her.
She said she had a story for me.
Did something happen to her?
You are saying Sonja contacted you,
but you don't know her?
Can I see the message she sent you?
Why?
Is that a problem?
That's not how I work. Sorry.
Sonja is reported missing,
so we're organising a search party.
Hey, Hannis.
My name is Sonja.
I've been trying to call you, but
it seems your phone is off.
I've been thinking for a while
how to reach out to you
Thanks for being here this morning.
Your participation in this search
is truly appreciated.
Yesterday
a person was reported missing.
Her car was found abandoned
here in Gásadalur.
We're here
to look for potential clues
as to whether
she may have had an accident.
The missing person is
Sonja á Heyggi.
Most of you probably know her
As you see,
there's a storm approaching,
which can make us
lose our orientation.
So let's work as fast as we can
as long as we can.
Let's find her before it's too late!
Hello?
Hello?
I am working on something
I have been to the police
I don't trust anyone anymore.
Sonja's hat.
Hello?
What?
A pod of whales has been spotted
in the fjord of Nólsoy.
Whalers are on their way now
but a Guardians of the Sea RIB boat
is trying to disturb the hunt.
The police are securing
Sandagerð Beach,
where the plan is
to drive the whales in.
We have the right to be here
The police urge people not to
confront any anti-whaling activists.
There's something in the water!
There!
A body just surfaced in the water!
