A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
One of the mightiest gods in Norse mythology,
Thor commanded the weather and the forces of nature,
fought the enemies of civilization and represented law and order.
Maybe you should eat something, Magne.
Yuck, you put way too much sugar in your coffee.
-Let's go. -You need to put on more clothes!
No need.
It will be warm outside today.
Here, wear these.
No.
Could you look out for him today?
Well, have a nice day!
Hey. Are you all right?
-What happened up there? -I don't know.
Why did you even go up there? The road was blocked.
-But that wasn't-- -Why did you leave her?
Okay, we have to go. Come on.
Did you see what the memorial Facebook group made for Isolde?
No.
Dear everybody.
I know this is normally your History lesson,
but for obvious reasons Erik is not here.
I want you all to know that you...
Hello.
I couldn't stand just staying at home.
Hello, everyone.
Yes.
It's fine.
-Are you sure? -Yeah, I am.
The spring party on Friday has obviously been cancelled due to--
No, no. Let's...
Let's throw the party as planned.
I'm sure that's what Isolde would have wanted.
We can confirm that Isolde died in a tragic solo accident
caused by the bad weather.
She was paragliding with a large tandem screen
that was hit by lightning.
Most likely she lost her phone at that time.
It has not yet been located,
so if someone finds it, please bring it to the police.
The police considers the case as closed.
I will let the school psychologist take over from here.
-Sindre. -Yeah.
Hello, everyone. Thank you for coming.
First and foremost, this is absolutely horrible.
I want you to know that I'm here for you, if anybody needs someone to talk to.
Especially you...
-Magne. -Magne, right.
Who witnessed the accident. Must have been horrific.
Everyone else as well, obviously. Call, text, middle of the night, whatever.
Just not Thursdays. I'm busy Thursdays.
Otherwise just give me a call. I'll leave my card.
So you can get in touch if you need to talk or something.
If you need it.
Do you have a minute?
Isolde was an experienced paraglider who knew the area well.
Why would she fly straight into the power lines?
She was probably hit by lightning and lost consciousness.
That's why she couldn't avoid the power lines.
There was no lightning at that time.
Magne.
There was a thunderstorm that night.
It's extremely dangerous to paraglide in a thunderstorm.
Exactly. She'd never paraglide during thunder.
The storm likely took her by surprise.
Magne, I understand that you're struggling. But the case is closed.
Vidar Jutul! Could you answer a few questions?
I'm in a bit of a hurry.
I've taken water samples around the factory,
and the cadmium level is too high.
We satisfy all the official standards.
Could this be related to the dead fish in the fjord?
We satisfy all the official standards.
Why won't you answer my questions?
I've got a meeting with the mayor now.
Absolutely.
Yeah. Hang on a second, would you?
-Hi, Turid. -Going by taxi?
Someone has vandalized my car.
-Are you okay? -Yes, sorry.
Some jerk has smashed my windshield with a hammer.
Could you handle the practicalities with the insurance?
Just send me whatever you got by email.
Great, I'll do that right now.
There, sent. Thanks.
Of course you can take samples...
Just put it there.
Aren't you gonna help? There are a lot more outside.
You seem to be doing just fine.
Magne. Did you wreck Vidar Jutul's car with our sledgehammer?
Laurits was here with me watching TV.
Just put it there.
You were out.
I didn't wreck any car.
It says in Vidar's insurance claim that he was watching the news at 9:00 p.m.
And then he heard his car getting smashed.
-It makes no sense that I would do this! -It makes absolutely no sense!
-Then why are you telling me? -Why are you lying to my face?
Go to your room until you're ready to tell me what happened.
And then you go buy me a new sledgehammer
because I need my sledgehammer.
PICK STARTING LOCATION
Hey.
Some of us look at porn, you look at Google Earth.
Here.
From Mom. For the new sledgehammer.
EDDA SECONDARY SCHOOL
One, two, three, four, five...
...54, 55, 56...
...540, 541.
March 24th.
I just threw a sledgehammer 541 meters.
The world record is 86 meters.
You want to join me in the sauna?
You're not going to find out who threw it.
Someone who's angry with you.
A fired employee, or a jealous husband...
or a furious woman.
The humans like us.
We had an assembly at school today.
About that girl who died.
All the kids were crying.
It's so difficult...
with all these feelings.
And that big Seier boy, asking the Sheriff all sorts of questions.
Magne?
Turid's boy?
You had a thing for her back in the day, didn't you?
Have you seen her now? That's what happens to them.
They get fat, sick and old,
and then they die.
It was me.
I killed that girl.
Isolde.
We agreed on not hurting children.
She saw something by the glacier.
The ice has retreated a lot more than I thought.
There's an opening into the tunnel.
I've got it under control. It was...
an accident.
The police have closed the case. It's gonna be fine.
But they haven't found the girl's phone...
...we have to take care of that.
Not a word to Fjor and Saxa.
The fewer people who know about this, the better.
Sure you didn't just get carried away?
Since you were already on the mountain and needed a sacrifice?
-I never get carried away. -Never?
We work with the social and cultural aspects of the human society.
There are almost no limitations as to what
a social anthropologist can do research in. One of...
Gry, Magne, Isolde.
You will...
Sorry.
Would you like to be put into other groups?
We'll make it work. Just need a little extra time.
I can come over to your place this afternoon to continue.
Great. Good.
And thanks for sending the problem statement.
Just be careful that your entire paper doesn't end up being about
how old white men are destroying the world and causing the ice to melt.
Isn't it true, though?
Is this yours?
Oh, that. That's ancient. Probably doesn't fit anymore.
Do we have any tea?
Gry is coming over.
Oh, right. That's the girl he has a crush on.
Oh, dear.
Magne?
Calm down. Here.
Take this.
-No. -Breathe.
I'll fix you something. And then you can focus on being yourself.
Or maybe not completely yourself.
Well, go open the door!
"Social anthropologists look at the development in a society
in connection with the values of its people.
In the following, we will do a social anthropological analysis of this."
Don't you normally wear glasses?
What?
-Yes. I mean, no. -No?
No, I used to.
-You're a funny one. -Is that a good thing?
Funny is good.
-Where are you from? -Here and there.
Sorry, but it's kinda difficult getting to know you.
If you were to say one thing about yourself, what would it be?
Yesterday, I discovered I can throw a sledgehammer...
half a kilometer.
Okay.
That's great, really, because that's really far.
Maybe we should call it a day.
Are you coming to the party?
No.
That will be 327 kroner.
Erik.
It's so tragic.
Let me know if there's anything I can do.
Come here.
Sorry.
The hero's journey has started.
Hippety hi everyone, what’s up with the crazy weather?
Yesterday’s temperature was 20 degrees and today we have hail,
but in my garden the rhubarb is growing a month early.
I’m just saying, what’s not to like?
PAST WEATHER - EDDA (HORDALAND)
We keep it moving here at 104.5 with a lovely spring tune.
Okay.
You really get off on different things than other people.
First Google Earth, and now the weather forecast.
What's next? The tax department website?
The police claim that Isolde was struck by lightning,
but here it says that lightning didn't strike until an hour later.
Yeah. But, Magne...
Don't you think the police know what they're doing?
Something has happened to me.
After we came to Edda.
I can do things I couldn't do before.
You still can't read.
I can throw a sledgehammer 541 meters.
Further, actually.
That night Isolde died, I threw it 1.5 kilometers.
I threw the sledgehammer that hit Vidar's car.
But nobody can throw a sledgehammer 1.5 kilometers.
I can.
Okay. Why don't we forget about this, and then you join me for the party?
And what about Gry?
She's probably going, too.
-She thinks I'm a weirdo. -But you are a weirdo,
when you claim you can throw a sledgehammer 1.5 kilometers.
SPRING PARTY
Yeah, that's right. Hey, boobies. How's it going?
You know what they would reply, Oscar?
-Do you know? -No.
They would say, "Hey, you idiot."
But you can't...
Yeah, yeah, but that...
You look amazing.
Thanks.
Just... there.
There.
Have you seen all the photos in the group for Isolde?
My mom and I went to light a candle at the memorial, it was very emotional.
Yeah, it's so awful.
Welcome to the annual spring party.
You all look absolutely amazing.
Beautiful girls and handsome boys.
A terrible tragedy has struck us.
It's touching to see how you stand together.
Yes, and it goes without saying that this is an alcohol-free event.
But before the music and dancing starts, let's take a moment for Isolde.
How can we honor the memory of Isolde?
How can we show what she meant to us?
When I think about Isolde,
I think about the beautiful
and overwhelming nature that she loved so much.
I think about West Norway.
Oh, Vestland, Vestland
When I see you like this
With beautiful mountains
And fjords and narrow coves
It...
Cool entrance, bro.
Is that Mom's shirt?
Do you think she'll ever fit in this again?
Sorry.
I think she's taken.
Then he's taken, too.
Sorry.
Hey! Party up!
Magnus! Good to see you.
So I talked to my mom, and she said you'd been asking new questions.
Leave it to the police.
Just let go a little, party and enjoy life.
Do like Mr. Laurits over here.
I think you should keep on partying, and me and Mr. Laurits will move on.
Are you only into dull, blond girls?
To each their own fantasies.
I've got the wildest fantasies.
You're very different than your brother.
Yeah, hopefully.
What's he like?
He's huge, dyslexic, and has no friends.
What can I say?
What the hell is up with this music?
Aren't you handsome guys gonna dance?
No.
Having drinks?
No, no! It's Fanta.
Soda, of course.
But what does the principal prefer to drink?
I would say...
that the principal prefers something stronger.
Hey.
-Remember me? -Magne.
-You came. -Yeah.
-Maybe you want to-- -Hey, Magne!
New jacket?
Yes.
Enjoying yourselves?
If you're not gonna ask her to dance...
I will.
Stupid party.
You shouldn't drink the water.
Don't drink the water.
Oh, shut up!
Are you Isolde or something? "Don't drink..."
Apologies. Sorry. So sorry.
I know you were close friends.
My mom said you feel so guilty about all of this.
You don't have to, you know.
My mom is an experienced cop. She says these things happen.
Isolde chose to do this.
Even though she was super experienced,
she chose to go paragliding in a thunderstorm.
So it's just bad luck that she hit the mountain.
Okay.
Hey, wait. What do you mean by "hit the mountain"?
My mom says the wind was strong in the thunderstorm,
so Isolde was probably thrown against a rock wall, and bang!
What rock wall? Their explanation changes all the time.
Are you ready to go to hell?
Okay.
Let's give them the sickest thing ever!
You're a good dancer.
Let's get out of here and find our own party.
-I don't think so. -Why?
You messing about?
What did you take?
Well, we're leaving. Come on! Let's have our own party.
So that was a no.
Hello. I need to speak with you.
MOVING BOX
I've started sorting through her things.
The police have changed their explanation again.
First they said she was hit by lightning,
and now that she was thrown into a rock wall.
-It is dangerous to paraglide. -They don't see how serious this is!
-You know what, Magne-- -Don't you get it?
-No, I can't-- -It's not fair.
What are you doing?
Tomorrow is her funeral.
And you just barge in here with... this?
It was an accident!
You just leave this to the professionals.
You're just a kid.
So you should just take it easy.
"Take it easy"?
What did you just do?
Maybe you should come inside for a while.
It's like you fucking copied all my playlists.
-You have this one? -Yeah!
All right, see you later.
Awesome! Someone with good taste in music.
Guys, we're going to Anders' place, okay?
They'll have to make up their minds, God damn it!
Who's coming?
The usual suspects. Minus Gry and Saxa and Hilde.
-Sorry, man. -Okay.
They're off to bed, apparently.
That sucks! And sad for you.
Well, it's sad for you, too!
What about your brother then?
-No, it wasn't really his scene. -Yeah.
No?
-He's upset about what happened to Isolde. -Yeah.
Everyone's upset about that.
Even those who didn't know her or like her.
Have you seen that thing on Facebook?
It's become a thing on Facebook
that everyone's placing flowers, everyone's lighting candles,
and taking selfies while they're doing it.
Whoever grieves the most is the coolest in town.
That's what it's come to. It's so messed up.
Look over there.
It's almost a fucking temple!
"You will always be in our hearts.
Loving thoughts from all of us at Edda Grill."
She never even went there.
She thought their fryer was polluting or some shit like that.
You've been here already?
Yeah. With David and Katrine. But it wasn't...
-What the hell? -It wasn't like--
You thought she was an idiot!
Yeah, but... Yeah.
Now she's just a dead idiot!
Would you chill for a second?
Which candle is yours?
Is it the big candle with the rose on it?
Put it out.
Are you messing with me?
Put it out?
No.
I'll do it for you.
That's...
-This is funny! -What the hell?
It's the maddest Insta-story!
Fucking hell!
You fucking delete that!
Delete... it.
Vidar Jutul: We didn't do anything illegal

Heat record in the western region
What if Isolde was right?
That we're destroying the world?
You are right to think that way.
Seeing as you will inherit all the shit that we've done.
I used to think like that.
Why did you stop?
Well, Isi's mom died.
She was the rebel out of the two of us.
Isolde got it from her.
That's her diary.
I should probably not look into that one.
Are you throwing it out?
I think she should get to...
keep her secrets.
Are you hungry, you say?
No.
Down. Not until I say.
On Instagram.
It was taken down, but I managed to get a screenshot.
I'll take care of it.
Why aren't you into Fjor?
Why am I not into your brother?
Like, everyone is into him.
It's not very original, you know?
Even Laurits is into him.
Okay.
Also...
I don't know if I want him to be my first.
Your first?
You have slept with someone, right?
Didn't you say so?
Yeah. I mean, my first from school.
What about Magne?
Are you two becoming friends?
No, we're just in the same group.
You were at his house.
Yes.
But that was just to work on the assignment, nothing else.
He managed to become close friends with Isolde.
No?
I think so.
Do you know what they did together?
He was, like, right there when she died.
-No, they went up the mountain-- -What were they doing there?
I don't know.
That video was just a joke. It's already been deleted.
Once, they worshipped us. Do you remember?
They sacrificed in our honor.
It goes by a different name today,
but we're still of critical importance to the people in this town.
We are in charge.
We decide who lives and who dies.
And these so-called small, ordinary people
accept that there's a price to pay for that.
But...
there are certain things... we don't do.
So we can remain who we are.
Do you understand?
So when you, as my successor,
are pissing on the memorial for one of the town's children,
you're pissing on me as well.
Where have you been?
Washroom.
I hate hold-in tights.
Magne. Have you seen Laurits?
Where's Laurits? We're late.
Laurits! Can I have a word with you?
I think the flower arrangements were so pretty.
Did we forget to lock the door?
