Outlier (2020) s01e08 Episode Script

1
-Hi.
-Hi.
-What type of place is this?
-An old furniture factory.
My dad worked here in the
eighties, but it's been
empty for probably ten years.
Fuck. Trond Kverntangen.
We don't even have as much
as a speeding ticket on him.
I don't like this.
If he's in there,
how's he going to react?
Fuck it. We don't have time.
Lets go in.
You take the entrance over there.
You take the entrance on the side.
Got it.
The key?
The building is empty.
There's no one here.
Okay. What about paper work?
Or computers?
No, there’s just old rubbish from
the furniture factory.
Looks like he's taken everything out.
-Is it long since he left?
-No.
There's fresh wheel tracks
outside the garage.
Has she been here?
We haven't seen any sign of her.
Okay. He's had her now for several days.
We're going to find her alive.
I'm going to find her.
And there's no other registered
addresses for North Security?
The company is affiliated with
a call centre.
But we would have to check it out.
Otherwise, everything takes
place online.
But the website
Is Trond managing that too?
I don't know.
It says here that a company called
Webconsult designed the website.
And they're based in Nerbygd.
-Hi.
-Hi?
Webconsult? Is that here?
Yes. Come in.
Hi. Hello?
Are you Webconsult?
Yes.
It's you who created the website
for North Security?
Yeah. Yes. That's right.
-Hi.
-Hello.
What's your name?
I'm Bjørnar Michaelsen.
Now you have to help the police a bit,
Bjørnar, and there'll be no fuss. Okay?
Do you know Trond Kverntangen?
Yes. But only over email.
Can you help us to get hold of the
client list?
That means everyone that's
purchased something from them.
-What do you want them for?
-We’re trying to find out
where his company operates.
What do I have to do with this?
Shit. Yes, that’s the whole of
Northern Norway.
Plus Sweden. Plus Finland.
Where would you put a server,
Bjørnar?
What kind of server?
We have a girl who's locked in a room.
Kidnapped.
The man who did it
is sending a stream of the girl.
He's going to take her life,
if we don’t find her.
-He's streaming now? Live?
-Yes.
Somewhere here in the area.
Can I see?
And you've tried to locate the stream?
He's sending it via a server.
Or, does he not have to do that?
Yeah, there's lots of methods to do it.
It could be via a mobile network,
or it could also be through the cloud.
But anyway. For all we know,
this might be delayed.
It might not be a clean live
stream, but a
This can be lots of hours ago.
But he has lights.
Yes?
If you cut the power, then
-We'll be able to see if it's live.
-And where she is.
Can the power plant cut the power
in different areas?
Yes.
Thank you, Bjørnar.
I guess the police can just order
them to turn off the power,
-and then we'll see?
-Listen. I have a plan.
Do you have a fishing license?
You're a dick.
Johan We need to cut off the
power to a few areas.
You need to cut off the power?
To a few areas?
Yes.
We need your help, Johan. Really.
Yes, but surely that must be possible.
I'm available as a
consultant on an hourly basis.
It's part of the scheme.
After I've been compensated
for overtime in 2019.
Up until last week.
You know everyone in the
district, Johan.
Also, getting the power turned off
is not that simple.
We have to contact the Armed
Forces High Command,
we have to call all the emergency
services, we have to
Can't you let this one through, Johan.
I know you have a short cut on this.
I know you know what's going on.
We're in the middle of a kidnapping
case here.
Isn't that typical, huh?
As soon as I go on sick leave,
then things start to happen here.
I didn't think you liked that
things happened?
-So she had it right the whole time?
-Yes.
Oh, God.
What?
No I can't stop thinking that
If only I'd Then he would
have maybe been stopped before,
and this wouldn't have gone
on for so long
You can't think like that, Johan.
Everyone is doing their best.
What difference does that make?
But okay! There's only one way
we can do this.
There'll be no fishing.
This here is my good friend,
Odd Knut Sandbakken.
He's the boss at at the power plant.
And yes, we're friends from the
Rotary Club.
At least he has an idea of how this
could be done.
-Yes?
-Yes.
I've been thinking about this a bit,
and it's not a problem for us to
switch off one area at a time.
We run stress tests from time to time.
To test civil preparedness, without
me going into too much details for whom.
That area are we talking about?
So, we have four large areas, and
it's from the river here and down
towards Bardufoss.
Then it's from here and north
towards and past Nerbygd.
The third goes from here and east.
We've also got the
cabling that goes here,
over the fjord, and up
towards Storfjord.
-Can we begin here?
-Yes.
-Good.
-Then that's what we do'll do.
Yes.
Come on.
Maja, look at this.
Dan Robin, rewind a bit.
A bit more.
There! There.
It's getting dark there.
It's ten o'clock.
That's to say,
that's somewhere here.
This is forest area?
-And this is buildings?
-These here are old hunting lodges.
They've probably been there for
a hundred years.
And the good thing here, is that
there's only one road
through this area.
It's a private gravel track, which
runs along the Djupelva.
If he goes by car, that's the only
way he can drive.
If we set up a barrier here,
we can also block the road here.
We'll also pray to God that he
transports Elle by car.
-Do we have him now?
-We have him.
Help! Help! Help! Is anyone there?!
Help!
Hi, this is Maja.
Hi Maja, do you remember me?
Yes. I remember you.
What do you want?
In an hour I'll call you to
tell you where you're going.
Why should I answer in an hour?
I have no reason to trust you.
I just want to chat with you, Maja.
Okay. It's a chance I'm willing to take.
On one condition.
This is between you and me.
You don't hurt Elle.
If I so much as get a feeling that
you're up to something,
then you're on your own.
It'll be nice. You and I, Maja.
We'll talk in an hour.
That was Trond.
He wants to talk with me.
No, Maja
-Hi.
-Hi.
We have a barrier at both ends.
He's not getting anywhere by car.
-He's made contact.
-What did he say?
He wants me.
Well, I don't fucking know, Maja.
This is way beyond all
Rules? Or procedures?
You know what I mean.
This is my choice.
I'm going in.
He'll call me, most likely,
and give me instructions.
But what the fuck does he want?
He wants to have control.
He wants to observe.
The combination of adrenaline
and control is for him
an intoxicating drug.
It's like sex. He wants the pleasure
to last as long as possible.
He doesn't kill until he has to.
What do we achieve with him having
control over you?
That he shifts focus, maybe.
That we get some kind of
dynamic into this situation.
-Yes, but what is he's plan?
-He has no overall plan.
He just wants the intoxication to
last as long as possible.
He's probably in the woods now,
on his way into some kind of ecstasy.
I think the situation is
exhausting him.
The fact that he wants control means
that deep down he's just a coward.
The most dangerous thing we
can do is let him get bored.
He only kills when he knows he has
nothing more to get.
I want to go in and meet him.
He's going to focus on me now.
Not Elle.
Yes?
Turn around.
Are you going to let her go, Trond?
That's what you're thinking.
Aren't you?
I'll be completely honest with you,
Maja. I've not decided yet.
What do you think?
Keep going.
Can I ask you something?
It was you, wasn't it?
I've never been sure if it was just
a dream or if it
You liked that I held you down.
You think so?
You think so? You think a ten
year old girl likes to be held down?
You asked for it, yeah.
-Did I?
-Yes.
All girls are asking for it.
Exactly what do you think we're
asking for?
-
To be tamed.
-Fucking hell.
That's a fantasy.
And you know it.
Someone took control away from you.
Was there someone who held you down?
Or was there someone who
showed you what control could be?
Because you have to lose control
to become so obsessed with it.
That it's the most important thing
in your whole life.
What you want more than
anything else.
-What happened to you?
-You're blind, Maja.
-What? Is it someone I know?
-Stop.
Who was it, Trond?
I like that you're trying to turn
the game around.
I know you like it.
Keep going.
There's a fine line between control
and chaos.
And that's where you like to be.
Where it's most dangerous.
Where you can be
discovered at any moment.
You're not interested in Elle.
That's not the kick.
What you get a kick out
of is control.
You get a kick out of control
because it's your kind of love.
You don't know anything else.
I don't like this.
What if he takes her as a hostage?
What would he gain?
He has a hostage.
What's he up to then?
I don't know what the hell he's up to.
You see Anna and Silja every day,
but you don't understand
what they want.
You understand that they love you,
but you don't understand why.
Whether you deserve it.
And that's the way it's been.
As long as you can remember.
That feeling.
Alone. Outside.
Smarter than the whole world.
But more and more you start
to wonder if there might be
something wrong with you.
And desire just dies.
Now it's more like an old habit.
Or a bad habit, you might say.
But the longing, Trond.
The longing will never go away.
You've tamed her now, Trond.
You can let her go.
You're done with her. Hm?
It's not that simple, Maja.
Maja, you're wrong.
-I'm wrong?
-Mhm.
I just enjoyed watching.
Turn to your right.
And the other way.
I enjoyed watching him
hold you down.
That who held me down?
You know who.
-No.
-Your cousin, maybe?
-Was it Eivind?
-Maybe.
Maybe there were others?
-Were there others?
-
Mhm.
Who, Trond?
Your brother, maybe.
Was it Petter?
It's Maja.
-Can you talk?
-He's bluffing.
He doesn't know what
he wants. He's just stalling.
-But I think I found something.
-Mhm.
-I'll call you back.
-Okay.
-I thought you'd retired.
-Yes.
There was just so much I had
to clean up.
But, technically, I'm not out of work
until I've done what I have
left of overtime.
So I'll drop by and do a bit
now and then.
You're not going to leave voluntarily,
are you?
Listen,
I've been thinking about something.
Why didn't we understand what
was happening at the hotel?
That Sofie was involved in
with selling herself?
Because you're a man.
And men don't listen to women.
You want to sort it out,
but you don't listen.
That there, that's
Feminist bullshit?
If there's anyone to blame here,
it's actually a woman.
Sofie's mother?
We are women, Johan.
We're just trying to survive.
Just like you men.
We're managing, we carry shame.
But it would've been so much
easier if you'd just listened.
Hey. Go back to London.
Don't make more trouble here
in Nerbygd, please.
-Get a grip.
-Goodbye.
Hi.
Do you know what
bothers me the most?
That he chickened out.
Of course he was a coward, Maja.
We have 26 open cases against
Trond Kverntangen now.
It’ll take years to investigate.
But it's Troms and special forces
who'll take the lead.
Who knows, maybe we'll
learn something.
Are you going to go home now?
And you?
No, I don't know. Who knows?
Maybe when you come back
in ten years then
You'll still be sitting in
there bickering with Johan.
There's an awful lot to bicker
about in Nerbygd. Luckily.
You could come to
London and sort it out.
I don't think I'd cope with their
police hats.
No, London's not exactly Nerbygd.
Regards to the Prince then.
