Fortitude (2015) s02e06 Episode Script

1 - - You're not up to it.
You're not a sheriff.
(GUNSHOT) You should stay here.
If you move, you could bleed.
It's a psychological reaction to the wasp trauma.
So I'm not blind, I'm just mental? I understand how upset you are.
This is not my dream job.
I need to find Governor Odegard.
There was a disaster, 1942, near Vukobejina.
Something about regeneration.
- They could reverse tissue damage? - They hurt him and he healed.
(CAPSULE CLATTERS) (GRUNTING) The river did come to me Straight into my arms I tried to caress it But it ran through my fingers Water will keep running Rivers will turn Water will keep running Rivers will turn Water will keep running Rivers will turn Water will keep running Rivers will turn (ENGINE SHUTS OFF) - What's that? - It's a hole.
Is it supposed to be there? No.
Most winters, this happens.
There's water down there.
The hot springs inland find their way out into the bay right under the road.
Don't think about taking a dip though.
It's still icy cold, and the water will freeze the blood in your veins.
Kill you stone dead in a minute.
Man in your physical condition.
I wasn't thinking about "taking a dip".
Old and overweight.
Ugh.
What am I supposed to do about it? Governor Odegard used to call Kim Hopperstad, he'd bring his digger out and fix it.
Is that so? Do you know how many murders I have on my plate? Four Hindemith, Tavra, poor Bianca, and now Tomak at the Blue Fox.
Although, technically, I'd consider Tavra a suicide.
Right.
Can we just leave this for now? Kim only takes cash.
(TRUCK DOOR CLOSES) Find anything? Tomak had a lot of mobile phones.
Get Petter Hansen to unlock them.
Hello, Mrs.
Odegard.
(SIGHS) Any idea who did this? I'm afraid I can't discuss the investigation.
(SHE SCOFFS) Of course.
Do you have a moment? I need to speak to you about something else.
You didn't want to speak to me about something else yesterday.
Eric, please.
It's important.
How's your room here, by the way? It's a professional matter, I have something to report to you.
It's about Erling Munk.
I have some information I'm sorry, Hildur, I have a meeting with the governor.
(SIGHS) He's under a lot of strain.
Yes, I know.
(THUD) Hey, Vince.
- You okay? You sleep alright? - (THUD) - Yeah.
Great.
Thank you.
- (THUD) (THUD) Back to work already? The samples we brought back from the Tundra, the Reindeer, and the Bear.
I just love to get started on the analyses.
I'm sorry.
I don't think you're ready to go back to work.
I think maybe you should get some help! Shut the door.
Last night, Dan Anderssen broke my patient out of the secure lab.
What, the girl in the coma? We need to get her back immediately.
Well, we have limited resources and other priorities.
- Not any more.
- Is she infectious or something? No, but we can say that if that helped.
If it helped? Are you insane? This place is a powder keg of well-armed drunks who'll shut themselves in their hovels and shoot on sight! We won't find anyone.
My mandate from Schentel Biotech says you do what I say in matters such as this.
I need my patient back now, and preferably alive.
Then give me a story that won't set this shit heap on fire.
- (KNOCK AT THE DOOR) - I mean it.
Eric.
Governor.
Doctor.
Sit down, Eric.
Eric, I need you to direct your resources to finding Dan Anderssen and Elena Ledesma.
Governor, there's another body in the morgue.
I'm looking for someone who has killed at least one person, maybe four.
Sheriff, without the medication keeping her alive, Elena will die.
She doesn't know this and neither does Dan.
We have to find them.
Now.
Eric the dead can wait for their vengeance.
Our duty is to the living.
What if someone else gets killed? Find the girl first, Sheriff.
That's an order! (GASPS) Ah! (RETCHING) (CLATTERING) (RATTLING) (ETHEREAL MUSIC PLAYING) Help me! (VOMITS) Dan are you okay? For a while there, I could not remember anything.
Oh.
Everything feels like a dream.
And not a good one.
I remember you were there, in the dark.
You came to see me.
Or did I dream that? No.
I was there.
I was so happy to hear your voice.
With the woman.
Dr.
Khatri.
Yeah.
I called out to you, Dan.
"Please, take me out of here.
Please.
" I remember she was cutting me, and and I could feel the knife inside me and all I could do was scream in the dark.
"Stop it.
Stop it, please".
She didn't.
She couldn't hear me.
Maybe she could.
Maybe she knew.
Well, that's inhuman.
It's a whole new world.
(SHE WHEEZES) (CAR STARTS) (HE BREATHES SHAKILY) (CRYING) I am I am sorry.
Forgive me.
Forgive me.
I had to do it.
This box was smuggled out of the Russian town of Vukobejina a few days ago.
It's got film, got medical records, and army reports.
I'll get the lights.
The film relates to the events of 1942 in the summer, it was the warmest summer in the Arctic since records began.
There was a team of Russian scientists, who were from a weather station over on the east coast, they reported a plague of wasps and then a massacre.
This is a reindeer herders camp.
A Sami camp.
Everyone dead.
They sent in the Red Army who found one survivor.
This man this man is infected.
There's parasitic wasp inside him, just like here.
The Sami, they chained him up and left him to die.
But he didn't die.
He survived on his own for weeks without food and with very little water.
And he beat the wasp.
But when they took the chains off of him, he killed sixteen people.
And they had to take him down with four bullets, it took to take him down.
The doctors started opening him up.
And he should be dead look at him! The notes speak of "unprecedented organ and tissue regeneration".
Where are the medical files? They're all right here.
They're all in Russian.
You translated them? No but she did.
This is Yeva.
Her uncle is the mayor of Vukobejina.
He's my friend.
He sent all this.
(PROJECTOR SHUTS OFF) I'm sorry, but has anyone considered the possibility that this is a hoax? The film is old.
The files everything's old! Tissue regeneration It's, it's, it's quiet common in nature.
That's right, that's right, I've read about it, and they can make new limbs, even eyes.
This is not a hoax.
Is what happened here in Fortitude, is that a hoax? This is REAL.
THIS IS REAL.
It happened, seventy years ago.
Right on the other side of this island.
Same wasp, same shit that we've had here.
Only this time something good came out of this.
Something different, something fucking miraculous.
Something that can heal us.
You have to serve yourself around here now.
I can't imagine how hard this is for you.
What else am I gonna do? (GRUNTS) The Russians set up some sort of temporary medical lab near that weather station back in forty two.
Yeva says that weather station is still there.
She knows where to find it.
If I can just find that lab, if I could fight something Did you hear those scientists? They made me feel like I was bullshit, they're weren't even listening.
Khatri was listening.
For her, the film was not such a surprise.
How do you mean? I don't know.
There's something here, something big, something connected.
But I can't see it yet, only parts of it.
Munk's part of it.
Getting rid of me, promoting Eric it's part of a plan, or a pattern.
The killings too, they're not random as Eric thinks.
But Munk is the key.
(KNOCKS ON DOOR) Groceries.
Clothes.
You have to come back to FARC with me.
- No! - We're giving them to everyone in town.
Our friend Elena is sick.
Without her medication she will die.
Please help us find her now.
If you see her or Dan Anderssen, call Eric, Ingrid or Petra.
It's a lie.
What is? It's not true.
She's not sick.
She doesn't need medication.
She's not going to die.
Petra.
Petra, he's right.
I'm fine here, now.
Elena wasn't a patient, she was a lab rat.
The machines weren't keeping her alive, they were keeping her asleep.
I'm not going back there.
I'm, I'm not.
I won't.
I won't.
Okay.
Okay.
You can stay here.
For now.
But you're coming with me, Dan.
You have to tell Eric what you said.
No, I don't.
He can't cope as it is.
Dan Anderssen, I have orders to arrest you and bring you in for questioning.
You don't need the gun, Petra.
You're not leaving.
You'll bleed again.
He's getting stronger, the demon.
So little time left.
It has to be stopped.
The police are looking for you.
(HE GRUNTS) They think you killed Tavra and that geologist.
Vladek, did you? I am not your problem.
(SIGHS HEAVILY) Tavra killed himself because he had to.
I killed the geologist because he couldn't kill himself.
Is that true? It is if you believe me.
If you have faith in me.
Do you, Freya? I don't know.
- Your money.
- What? You wanted some cash from the bank.
For Kim Hopperstad to fix the hole.
But you couldn't be bothered going yourself.
Kim'll see you there at four.
Why can't you go? It's dangerous.
Road's full of holes.
Perhaps I should find myself a younger assistant.
I'm not dead, you know.
It won't be long.
Not fucking deaf either.
For God's sake, Ingrid! Elena cannot just disappear.
Keep looking.
Look what I found by the harbour.
Hello, Eric.
Dan.
I'm trying to find a man who has killed a lot of people here.
But I can't do that until I know Elena is safe.
You know where she is.
Help me.
Help her.
Dan, don't make me lock you up.
What are the charges? You broke into Khatri's house.
To cook her a three course meal.
It was a fucking home invasion! I stacked the dishwasher.
You put a flare gun in her face.
It wasn't loaded.
Dan, please.
Dr.
Khatri's pressing charges threatening behaviour, breaking and entering, assault with a deadly weapon.
You'll be taken to Oslo for a trial.
Put him in a cell.
I'm entitled to a phone call.
(ELECTRICITY CRACKLES) Why didn't you tell Eric what you told me? Hmm.
I didn't think he'd listen.
I know! I told him I think the killer's a Shaman, Dan but he won't listen.
He's out of his depth.
Go on.
There's a legend among the people here that every few generations the Gods send down a plague to remind everyone of their power.
And after the plague, a, a sort of demon rises up.
The chosen one and he can only be defeated by a powerful magic, and for that, the Shaman needs certain body parts.
And that's what I think is happening here: the husky, the heads, the heart Someone is collecting body parts because they think there is a monster here.
A monster? It's only superstition, of course.
But if we can understand his way of thinking, then We can predict his moves.
That's it! Against my advice, Dr.
Surinder Khatri has agreed to speak to you in private.
If you drop the charges, I'll keep my mouth shut.
How does that sound? Hey.
Can I get a hand putting the Ski-Doos on the trailer? - Did I interrupt something here? - No.
Gotta admit, I had my doubts about her.
But after getting to know her for a few days, she's pretty great.
She's not my girlfriend.
Just saying.
Don't embarrass me.
Okay? Hey, I told your mother we're going hunting.
Okay? Alright.
Did you eat something? We're wasting daylight.
Don't you be doing anything stupid while I'm gone.
You try not to shoot Rune! (HE CHUCKLES) (THEY WHOOP AND SHOUT) (ELEVATOR BELL DINGS) I just saw this.
I wanted to ask you, what happened? She came out of the coma yesterday, quite suddenly.
No brain damage? She was dirsorientated and violent.
I had no time to examine her.
But, wasn't she effectively on life-support? It's a miracle, Doctor Yelburton.
Why did she attack you? - Be happy.
- (DOOR OPENS) (DOOR CLOSES) What did you do to Khatri? Did you threaten her? I don't know you anymore.
- Dan! - Hildur.
I've been worried about you.
Hildur, come inside.
Please.
Petter, could you give us a moment? Petter, get out of here! I'm sorry about this morning.
My timing was bad.
No, I'm sorry.
Just got so much to deal with, you know I know I know.
But most of all, err most of all, I'm, I'm upset.
I'm upset because you don't love me any more.
(EXHALES) I don't know.
I I think I'm unhappy.
I, I have been for quite a while.
And I don't really know why.
Well, I can wait if If that's what it takes.
(SCOFFS) Thank you.
You wanted to talk to me.
Yes.
Eric, it's important.
Erling Munk is corrupt.
He's being paid by a third party to control events in Fortitude and report back.
He contacts them on a separate mobile phone he keeps in his room.
Yesterday, I flew down to Oslo, to see his former secretary.
She's also his mistress.
She told me he has a second property, something he could never afford on a government salary.
He keeps a sports car there in a garage.
Everything in a different name, some relative of his.
I, I have a A photo of Munk in the car at the house.
The local police will easily find it.
In the meantime, we need a warrant to access his bank records - and seize his phones.
- Jesus Christ! I know! He always seemed so upright! You just lost your job, okay? But your life is not over.
People have real problems.
Death.
Loss.
I don't know, maybe you need counseling or something.
You think I'm making this up? I heard him on the phone, I have emails that he wrote, they prove - they prove that - What? What? Conspiracy theory bullshit! Christ! I have work to do.
(BREATHING ANGRILY) (THUD) - Ah! - (MUG SHATTERS) (GRUNTING) - (PANTING) - (HE BREATHES DEEPLY) (HEAVY BREATHING) Why can't you love me? (BREATHING SHAKILY) Elena.
Elena? Elena? Elena? ELENA? (BREATHES DEEPLY) What? What is it? I thought you were dead.
No.
(SHE GRUNTS) I wanna go back.
(BREATHES DEEPLY) I wanna leave.
It's not safe yet.
You can't trust anyone here.
Can I trust you, Dan? I'm the only one you can trust.
Didn't you try to kill me? Or did I dream that too? No.
I didn't want you to end up like the others.
How did they end up? They got eaten alive from the inside by larvae from a prehistoric wasp.
A what? Are you making fun of me? No.
That's what happened.
That's what happened to people here.
And it happened to me too.
After I thought I'd killed you, I had a couple of drinks.
A few days later, I woke up here.
And by then, the voices were inside me.
I could hear them talking to me, whispering to me, telling me what to do.
The voices.
And I knew I'd do it.
Did you chain yourself up? Just me and the voices and anything I could drink.
Even Henry's reindeer juice.
Oh, I knew I'd die eventually.
Where are they now, Dan The Voices? That's a good question.
Hildur! Hello, Ralfi.
Is Munk in? I need to see him.
No.
Gone for the day.
Really? Where? Out to the old cement factory.
The road's shite again.
He's meeting Kim Hopperstad there at four.
(MUSIC PLAYING IN THE CAR) (CELL PHONE BEEPS) (HE TURNS OFF THE MUSIC) Hildur.
What are you doing out here? I came to talk to you, Erling.
I'm here to see the digger man.
- Kim Hopperstad? - Hmm.
Increasingly, I find my life has the quality of a bad dream.
- I'm very sorry, Erling.
- (SCOFFS) I've known you twenty years, and I can't imagine what sort of mess you got yourself into to end up here.
(CHUCKLES SARCASTICALLY) I'm not quite with you, Hildur.
I know, Erling.
I know everything.
Everything that matters anyway.
I saw the emails on your laptop, gently engineering my removal.
And the others, quietly taking my place.
It was brilliantly done, of course.
They'd have seen it as a selfless demotion for the good of the team.
Instead of what it was: Obeying orders.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I was hiding in your room that night, the night of the bar fight.
Michael Lennox was supposed to keep you down there.
I went through your emails, and when you came back, I heard you on the phone.
You were reporting back about the progress of the murder investigations, about what I was doing, and about how Eric was an idiot, and that's why you made him Sheriff.
"It's all under control," you said.
"But I want more money.
" (GRUNTS) (VOMITS) Marika told me about your second house in Oslo the one in your uncle's name, and the car you keep out there.
I'm very sorry, Erling.
How did it all start? It's not too late, you know.
I can help you.
You can help me.
I'm not going to the Police.
I don't care about the money, or who you work for.
I care about Fortitude.
So here's my deal: you resign the governor's job, you find some excuse, and you go home to Oslo.
In return, I forget everything, this all goes away.
- Liar! - (SHE GRUNTS) (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS) Erling! (SHE GASPS) (BREATHING HEAVILY) Help me.
Give me your hand.
(SHE GRUNTS) - I can't! - Take my hand.
I can't Give me your hand.
(GASPS) Pull me up quick! Quick! Erling! It starts off small, and then you're in, and they won't let go of you.
I'm trapped, Hildur.
Ah! I'm in up to my head.
Like you said.
No.
Erling, we can, we can work it out, we Please.
Please.
Please.
Forgive me, Hildur (GASPING) but I can't.
No! (GASPS) I can't do it.
No.
No.
Erling! ARGH! (BURSTS OF STATIC) (GRUNTS) (WHIMPERING) - (PHONE RINGS) - (GASPS) - (ENGINE FAILS TO START) - (GRUNTS) Fuck.
(ENGINE REVS) Come on OH, FUCK! (GRUNTS) (GRUNTS) (HE PANTS) (COIN RATTLES) (CHATTER AND LAUGHTER IN BACKGROUND) (Dusty Springfield's "Take Another Little Piece of My Heart" plays) Someone's hiding them.
The Shaman and Elena.
Both of them.
Probably someone in here.
I'm an alcoholic.
(RUNE LAUGHS) (PHONE RINGS) (EVERYONE SINGS) (HE CRIES) (HE LAUGHS) - (BOTH GRUNTING) - Ugh! Get fucking finding! (GUNSHOT)
