1
Sonja?
Sonja
Someone call for an ambulance!
Let me through.
- Stop that.
- Help her.
Get him away from here.
I want talk to him later.
We need to stop the whale hunt.
And clear the area.
We'll go this way.
Sonja
I'm sorry.
Karla
You sit down right here.
Right here.
Okay, we need to get her transported
to the hospital.
And we need to close off the beach.
And get all the activists
to the station.
And make sure we question
everyone in and around the area.
This will cause
a massive media storm.
It'll spread like wildfire
all around the world.
Get them out of here.
When exactly
did you arrive in the Faroes?
I already told you that.
Sonja is found dead
shortly after you arrive,
and you pulled her body ashore.
That's quite the coincidence.
Why did you come here?
If you don't want to answer,
I can take you to the station.
She sent me a message.
A message about what?
She said she had a story to tell.
She must've known about my work.
I have some of her things in my car.
Why do you have her things?
I found them in a lake cabin.
Where?
By Toftavatn.
You're telling me
you never met Sonja before?
She sent me a video message, okay?
I recognised the place, I went there,
but she wasn't there.
You are a journalist. There are
many of them. Why exactly you?
Maybe you could tell me that?
She said she didn't trust anyone
anymore. Not even the police.
When did you find Sonja's phone?
Gísli here will take you to your car.
I want to speak to you again,
so stay in the area.
Let me know before
you plan to leave again.
- Was that really Hannis Martinsson?
- Yes.
I haven't seen him in decades.
What did he say?
It appears Sonja contacted him
shortly before she disappeared.
He won't say about what.
Keep your eye on him
and don't trust a word he says.
What about Sonja?
Shall I call for help from Denmark?
No, I have it under control.
This is my responsibility.
Hey, Dad.
Sonja's death is now
our top priority.
Every boat that participated
in the hunt must be searched.
Every person on the beach
and every participant in the hunt
must be questioned.
The foreign activists that escaped
have 270,000 square kilometres
of Faroese waters to disappear in.
So it will not be easy
to track them down.
But the activists on the beach
are in custody,
and we need to put
maximum pressure on them.
So Sonja's body appears
out of the blue.
We have found her car.
Her cellphone. A GOS hat.
We have two packed bags
that according
to witness Hannis Martinsson
were left in a cabin.
By Toftavatn on Eysturoy.
Everything shared on social media
of her and from the whale hunt
and from the GOS meeting
she was supposed to attend
the night of her disappearance
I want it archived and taken down.
Everyone who has uploaded
photos or videos
needs to be contacted and questioned.
No matter how insignificant
a clue might seem,
these are the clues that will tell us
whether this was an accident,
a suicide,
or murder.
Here he comes.
Einar's. A bottle. Two glasses.
I thought I would find you here.
Why did you come back?
You didn't even come
to our parents' funeral.
I'm here because of Sonja.
The girl that died.
She contacted me.
Contacted you about what?
She said she had a story.
Did you know her?
Did you ever meet her?
No.
I only knew her from the papers,
TV She made a lot of fuss.
I don't understand how a girl like
that could get involved activism.
No one understands that.
Could anyone want
to hurt her because of that?
I don't know.
Have you had anything to do
with those Guardians?
Guardians
They only want trouble.
That's all they want.
We have tried talking to them,
but it's no use.
They only want to
create scandals in the international
media to finance their activities.
Crazy stunts.
What stunts?
They interfere in the hunt
and the killing,
sailing into our boats
and whales alike.
Carving up the whales.
Is that environmentally friendly?
We have listened.
We have improved our methods.
It's as fast and humane as possible.
We have tried talking
to them, to no avail.
They will not accept that the hunts
are well-coordinated and sustainable.
Why did she get involved with them?
All I know is
that if we ever stop eating whale,
it will not be because of activists.
It will be because of pollution.
Not our pollution, but pollution
from heavy industries abroad
that are poisoning the oceans,
the fish, the whales.
Tell me one thing:
Why is it okay to poison a whale?
But it's not okay
to hunt and kill it?
Sonja was perfectly aware
of all that.
I thought you said
you never met her?
No, but
I'm just saying, until we all agree
to not kill any animals at all
Until that day,
I will continue to fish.
And I will continue to hunt whale.
Hey, aren't you that guy
who found Sonja in Sandagerð?
Hey, I'm talking to you.
Yeah, that's me.
She was a bitch.
- Don't talk like that about the dead.
- I don't give a shit.
What did you say?
- What?
- What did you say?
Are you also one
of those fucking activists?
You know that's my daughter
you're talking about?
You two stop right now,
or I'm calling the police!
That's enough.
- Who the hell was that idiot?
- Come on, let's go home.
Enough. Let's go.
You still live here?
Hey, Dad.
Do you see me?
After an initial external examination
of the body, there is little doubt
the cause of death was drowning.
There are several small lesions.
Small bone fractures.
Possibly caused by a high fall.
There are also some cuts
from a sharp object.
Possibly caused by a boat propeller,
bearing in mind
where the body was found.
And what about the time of death?
That's hard to say,
but I would estimate up to 24 hours
before the body was found.
I suggest we get
a police pathologist from Denmark
to perform a forensic autopsy.
Especially if this
might be considered as a crime.
A police pathologist will be able to
give you more detailed information.
Okay, are you ready, Páll?
Yes.
We're recording.
Why do you want to talk to us?
What makes you want
to come forward now?
I have followed
your stories on KVF lately.
I like your defiance and bravery.
But why here?
Why all this secrecy?
They fire me, but tell the media
that I quit without notice.
They follow me around everywhere.
Threaten me and my family.
A few days ago,
our kids' dog was run over.
They try to create mistrust of me.
Claiming I have breached
my confidentiality agreement.
Threatening to sue me
on top of it all.
So I might as well
tell the whole story.
You will probably
find this interesting.
What is this?
A USB with everything
I had time to copy.
A breadcrumb trail.
Dirty proof.
Evidence of treason,
corruption, bribery.
But you have to be careful.
We are not just talking
about one person.
This involves many more
than one party.
This runs deep.
This isn't just
about industry either.
It also includes the political
system. The judicial system.
The police.
These people are very,
very dangerous.
How do you know
the police are a part of this?
I just know they seem to be able to
do these things without interference.
What can we do to help?
You can rattle the cage.
Get the story out there.
They are trying to silence me.
But they can't silence everyone.
Hi. I am one
of your husband's former colleagues.
I'm Hannis. I'm a journalist.
I'm looking into
your husband's accident.
Can I ask you
a few questions about Páll?
It will only take a few minutes.
Yes, okay.
- Tea?
- Yes, please.
You don't know about anyone
who would want to hurt him?
No, Páll doesn't have any enemies.
Everything has been great since we
moved back from Denmark, but then
Suddenly, everything's ruined.
Because of Sonja.
Sonja? How do you mean?
Ever since I introduced them,
Páll has been different.
He
She was one of my old friends, before
she became my husband's friend.
Okay.
Did he talk about his job in the days
before the accident?
He was working on
some story about a CFO.
Who? Do you have a name?
Arni. Something
Strange last name.
I hadn't heard it before.
Páll didn't tell me much.
I don't know.
- Did you tell this to the police?
- No.
I didn't think about that.
You don't think that has something
to do with the accident, do you?
I don't know. There's just something
that doesn't add up.
You are sure you don't remember
Arni's last name?
Arni
Does your husband have
a home office?
Yes.
Sorry, I haven't had time to tidy up.
Or do anything at all
after what happened.
That's fine.
- Is it okay if I go through his bag?
- Yes.
Norðskip
A.B. Is that Arni, do you think?
Is it okay if I stay here
to go through his things?
I actually have
to go back to the hospital.
They're waking him from his coma,
and I want to be there
when he wakes up.
So I have to go.
I'd really like to speak with him,
if that's okay?
I'm quite sure Páll was working
on something big with Sonja.
Sonja?
I found some recordings
they had made.
They were on the trail
of some big cover-up.
I'm pretty sure this Arni
What he told got them in trouble,
and that's why your husband is in
the hospital, and Sonja is now dead.
A.B. Brestisoyggj.
- Arni Brestisoyggj.
- Arni Brestisoyggj.
- Hello, Bergur.
- Anita.
Is it okay if I bother you
for a minute?
You know I always enjoy
speaking to you, Anita.
But I can see you also know how
to enjoy yourself without me.
It's about Sonja's case.
We are interviewing everyone
that was on the beach.
You were there, right?
Yeah, a few of us
went down there. Why?
Someone overheard you
and your friends bragging
about threatening Sonja.
To get her to shut her mouth.
That was just a joke.
I've heard worse about her.
Traitor. She deserved what happened.
Someone should screw her
to shut her up.
You are in that new
rehabilitation program, right?
After your stint in prison?
Yeah, so?
So you know the terms.
One wrong step
Putting whale meat in a child's bed.
Threatening her mother.
Those are two good examples
of parole violations.
You're saying there's no connection?
I don't know anything
about any whale meat.
I put my meat in the freezer.
That there sounds like a real waste
of good food.
If Sonja can keep spewing
her activist propaganda,
can't we have our own
personal opinions about her?
If you want to arrest me for some
gossip, by all means, go ahead.
Whose car is that?
I'm not sure.
But I might know
who could do
something like that to Sonja.
Okay?
Who is that?
You won't find anyone in there.
What happened here?
There was a fire a few weeks ago.
Thank God, it was in the middle
of the day, and no one was at home.
Someone called the fire department,
so the whole house didn't burn down.
I presume you are looking
for the owner?
Arni, yes.
- Do you know him?
- Yes, he's of the good kind.
This is how fast things can
take a wrong turn.
Just like that,
anyone can lose everything.
Do you know where he is now?
They They moved abroad.
They didn't say where to.
I found it all a bit strange.
And now, the house is up for sale.
They were always so nice.
And then to just pack up and leave
like that, it didn't seem like them.
Then again
There are all kinds
of rumours going around.
But, you never
really know anyone, huh?
What rumours?
The whole thing surrounding Iktus.
- Iktus? What's that?
- The fish factory where Arni worked.
You are not the only one
who has been here looking for him.
Who else has been here?
Those two That reporter
that ended up in the hospital.
And Sonja, who was found dead.
She was also here.
I'm beginning to think that everyone
who gets near this house
ends up in an accident.
But I have to hurry. If you find
them, tell them I said hi.
I will.
Thank you.
You are one
of the whalers that media
and activists from around the world
have contacted these last days.
What are the comments
you are getting?
They are quite different.
Some of them I can understand,
but some of them
are too obscene to repeat.
Too obscene? Do you have an example?
I don't know.
They call us all kinds of things.
But hopefully, the waters will calm
over the next days or weeks.
There is always a calm
after every storm.
Hello. Yes, I'd like to report a man.
Dear Mother, I want to sleep
My eyes are getting tired
Jesus has promised
To look after me tonight
Hey, Dad.
I'm worried about my safety.
The safety of my daughter.
Your granddaughter.
Here are some more.
You're getting to write
quite a few reports, huh?
- Are witnesses still coming forward?
- Yes.
Everyone's a detective these days.
Any updates?
Yes.
I went to see the guy who supposedly
talked about threatening Sonja.
And?
He gave me a tip on who
might've broken into her house.
Also, Sonja's private car was parked
outside the garage, where he works.
She parked it there a week ago,
so I'm looking into that too.
Yeah, and there's also been a report
of another break-in at Sonja's house.
What, again? When?
This morning.
An elderly neighbour called it in.
When we arrived, no one was there.
And you are only telling me this now?
I checked the house.
Nothing out of the ordinary,
only that the police tape was ripped.
Then I called a technician
to come look for new prints.
Okay, I want us to change focus now.
Instead of working backwards
from when the body was found,
we will look forward
from the last time anyone saw her.
I want to establish a timeline.
Noting all the places and times
Sonja has been seen
or is said to have been
within the last 48 hours
before she disappeared.
Because right now, we don't even know
when she disappeared.
Sonja contacted me.
She said I was her father.
Is it true?
Is she mine?
Yes.
Why haven't you said anything?
You had already left.
You would never have
come back anyway.
Or given me the help I needed.
You are probably right about that.
She said someone was after her.
Do you have any idea
what she was involved in?
No.
- When was the last time you spoke?
- Two days ago.
She asked for help
to look after Turið.
The little one.
She said she needed to be alone.
We hadn't spoken for a while then.
After I told her
After I told her about you,
we had a falling out.
Sonja and I have been
through a lot over the years.
I was fortunate to find a new family
in Ragnar's congregation.
He took good care of me.
Even if Sonja didn't
really fit in there.
She was always a revolutionary.
I wonder where she got that from.
And now, she's dead.
Tell me more about Sonja.
What do you want to know?
Anything.
Okay.
On behalf of Aurora,
Sonja's mother,
I want to thank all of you
for coming to this vigil today.
I, like many of you, respected Sonja
for her bravery and persistence.
Dear God.
Let her young soul rest in peace.
And let those of us left behind,
remain strong in our faith
and unity.
We cannot let slander and rumours
lead to accusation.
For centuries,
our small tight-knit community
has survived on the conviction
of the good will.
Let us all pray.
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom and the power
and the glory are yours forever.
Amen.
- And what about Sonja's mobile phone?
- That's a different issue.
It looks like she installed some sort
of military-grade safety app.
The only way to open it
is through FaceID.
I will do everything I can,
but we might have to send
the phone to Denmark.
And it can take weeks
before we get the data back?
- Yes.
- Okay.
Go home for the night.
You deserve it.
Thanks.
Hannis Martinsson
Sorry, Sonja.
Hi, Hannis.
My name is Sonja.
I don't know
if you remember my mum, Aurora.
Aurora á Heyggi.
She told me you are my father.
Hey, Dad.
Gunnar
