The statement given by Trausti Einarsson,
confirms the testimony of Ívar Kristjánsson
about what transpired during his interrogation.
You will have no further involvement with the investigation
and the use of excessive force will be noted on your permanent record.
You will be suspended from the Metropolitan Police,
but the police commissioner
has recommended you for an open position at Siglufjörður.
As long as you pass a psychological evaluation.
Just let me know if you want me to take over.
There's no need.
Hello, Ísak. You're on speaker.
Yes, hello. Listen, I'm trying to reach Trausti.
Yes, I'm here. Hi.
We managed to track Kristján's phone.
And he seems to have been-- One moment.
Good morning.
He seems to have been in the Höfði area
for a short time, but then his phone was suddenly switched off.
How long was the phone off?
Around 12 hours.
Then it's turned on again at 10:00 in the morning.
At that time he's detected in Garðabær.
Then he's back home.
Thank you, Ísak. See you.
Yes, all right.
He could've done it in that time.
He could've driven up north and back.
I never suspected him.
No.
POLICE STATION
Did he have a reason for killing his son?
They weren't on speaking terms. Something must've happened.
I mean, he's obviously got something to hide.
They're already here. I saw Kristján and Magdalena at the hotel this morning.
Let's go and talk to him.
Let's not forget that you were suspended.
You're not allowed to take part in the investigation.
But does he know any of that?
No, I don't suppose he was informed about it.
Hinrika. You ask the questions. We'll just observe.
Then we're not breaking any rules.
Not blatantly at least.
Okay, I'll ask the questions and you simply observe.
Haraldur. Can you finish the paperwork regarding Hopper?
Yes.
Hello.
Are you alone?
Yes, the girls went over to the pharmacy. What can I do for you?
Can we talk for a minute?
Yeah. Sure. Come on in. I just have to put something on.
I know this doesn't look good.
No, it doesn't.
It's quite absurd that you should think I hurt my son in any way.
Where were you on the night of your son's murder?
-At work. -At work?
Yes, I have an office in the Höfði area. You can look it up.
-KG Contractors. -What were you doing at work at that hour?
I was finishing a cost estimate. We made a proposal on a big project.
Why did you turn your phone off?
My phone?
You went to the Höfði area and turned your phone off.
Have you been tracking my phone?
The battery went dead.
If you were at work and you have nothing to hide,
why did you tell the police you were at home that evening?
I mixed up the dates. I'm very busy.
One would think that this day was hard to forget.
Like I said, I was finishing the cost estimate. Late into the night.
The girls were asleep when I got home.
Can anyone confirm that?
Are there any security cameras there?
No, nothing like that.
Thank you for picking me up.
I never would've found my way alone from the airport.
Yeah, no problem.
Have you been there before? To… What's it called?
-Ásar. -Yes.
No.
Hi.
Hello.
Can we talk for a moment?
-Here? -Sure.
Yes.
We can sit here.
It's good that you came.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Have you heard from your uncle?
No, fortunately, I haven't.
He killed Sverrir.
I know.
Were you involved?
No. Of course not.
He betrayed us all.
Got me arrested.
I was being questioned when it happened.
We never should've gotten involved with him.
I was the one who sent Sverrir here.
I'm gonna hurry over to Ásar. To get there on time.
I guess Trausti and I are not going there.
No, definitely not.
Should we just sit here on our asses, doing nothing?
I'll let you know if something new comes up.
Haraldur? I'll see you there, right?
Just finishing up. Be right there.
-Good luck. -Thanks.
-Hello. -Hello.
Good morning. That's quite the feast.
Yes, for the wake. We're going to a funeral.
Yes, of course. My name is Hinrika. I've taken over the investigation.
-My sincere condolences. -Thanks.
Thank you.
-Hi. -Hi. Are you going to the funeral?
Yes, I was thinking of going to the funeral, if that's okay with you.
Yes, I guess so.
Eva, get in the car, honey.
Magdalena,
I was thinking that we could have a chat, in private.
Now?
Yes, we could travel together up to Ásar.
Have a chat in the car on the way over.
-Yes. -Great.
I'll see you there.
Hey. I'm just popping out.
So, I took your advice and went to see Mom.
Well done.
Wasn't she happy to see you?
Yes, I think so.
That's good to hear.
We shouldn't take relationships with our loved ones for granted.
No.
Tell me something,
weren't you suspended from that murder investigation?
Don't tell me you came all the way up north
just to drink coffee with this old geezer.
No.
The father of the boy who was murdered lied about his alibi.
Said he was at home all evening, but this turned out to be false.
I was hoping you could help us.
How can I help you?
I seem to recall that you had a contact at Securitas
who helped you solve some old insurance fraud cases.
Well, yes…
Goði is his name.
Yes. Anyway, the boy's dad has an office in the Höfði area.
He says he was there.
But there were no witnesses and no security footage.
But across the street from his office, there's a car dealership.
And it looks to me like they've got cameras from Securitas.
And I was hoping that they might reach across the street.
It's been a while since I heard from him,
but I can check if he's still working there.
Have you and Kristján been together a long time?
Yeah, it's our 30-year anniversary this summer.
Thirty years. That's a long time.
We've got children, a home, a company.
Some couples divorce when the children leave home.
Was there something specific you wanted to discuss with me?
I wanted to know why you didn't tell the truth about Kristján's whereabouts
at the time of your son's murder.
We know he wasn't at home all evening. He was caught by a speed-camera.
Possibly, on his way out of town.
Where was he going?
Well, he had to go to the office. He'd forgotten something.
And when you asked him, he forgot about it and said he'd been at home.
And why didn't you correct him?
Well, I… I just froze.
I was still marred by what had happened to Ívar.
He was in custody for many days.
You mean when Ívar was accused of killing Lína a few years back?
Yes.
Lína wasn't quite the angel most make her out to be.
What do you mean?
She had a dark side.
She couldn't control herself.
Yes. Yes, hold on, he's here. He wants to talk to you.
Hello.
So, can you see across?
Yes, partially.
There was some traffic there that Friday evening.
People coming and going.
Okay, can you send me the footage?
Sure.
You can email it to andriolafs@gmail.
You should get it shortly.
Okay, great. Thank you very much. Bye.
He's taking care of it.
Yeah, look. There's Kristján. Fast-forward a bit.
-Here comes another car. -Yes.
Is that him? Bergur?
It looks that way. That's his car at least.
They step inside.
What's he doing?
Wait, he's smashing his phone. That's why the phone went dead.
Of old was the age ere aught Aught there was
There was no sand nor sea
Nor cool, cool waves
Earth had not been, nor heaven above
But a yawning gap
And grass nowhere
Nowhere
Are you okay?
Yes.
How did you know Ívar?
He was my boyfriend.
Ívar was like a son to me.
And to my son, he was like a brother.
I will be eternally grateful to my Gunnar, for introducing me
to the unfailing life force that Ívar carried with him.
And even though we do not all share the same views…
What's going on?
…shouldn't we see this as a symbol of…
We have a video of Kristján
and what looks like Bergur, arguing at Kristján's office.
What was he doing there?
Didn't the girl from the bar say he was there all night?
Yes.
Let's confirm this with Kristján. I'll get him.
Say it with me. Cattle die, kindred die,
as you yourself shall die.
But the good name will never die,
of him who has earned it.
Kristján, can you step outside with us?
Now?
Could I ask you to respect the deceased
and hold off with all this until after the wake?
Is that possible?
It's all right.
You carry on.
Can we do this somewhere else?
Yes. Let's step aside.
Let's go in here. We can use Ívar's room.
Who's with you there?
It's Bergur, right?
Yes.
Why did he smash your phone?
Shouldn't you ask him that?
Kristján, I am asking you.
Why did he smash your phone?
You two finish this, we've got to find Bergur.
You go to the assembly hall and see if Bergur is there.
-I'll check the caves. -Okay.
I did not start this.
Start what, exactly?
We spent a night together.
You and whom?
Lína and I.
Lína? You slept with Lína? Your son's girlfriend?
They had been out, partying.
Ívar was plastered as usual and fell asleep.
Where was this?
At our house. I was drunk when they came home.
We started talking
and had some more red wine and then…
I don't know how the thought entered my mind…
-Did you kill her? -No.
No. No, I never saw her again after that.
Did Ívar know about it?
No, he didn't know.
And Bergur? Did he know?
Yes, she told him about it.
Sóley?
You're Sóley, right? You came with Bergur?
Yes.
Where is he?
I don't know. I last saw him in the cave.
Why did you lie to us about Bergur's whereabouts on the night of Ívar's murder?
You know you could go to prison for giving false testimony.
Where was he?
He was taking care of some important business.
What kind of business?
You know he's a dealer.
You just decided to lie for him?
He paid me to do it.
And what?
Did he tell anyone about it?
We made a deal.
I've been paying him three to four million each year for keeping quiet.
But what happened between both of you at your office?
Bergur was into some racket.
Some drugs racket?
I have no idea about that.
He needed more money.
A lot more.
Twenty million in one payment.
You didn't have it.
Twenty million, without notice? I…
I couldn't have paid, even if I wanted to.
He…
He said he was going to destroy my life.
And after this? Do you know where he went?
No.
The next thing I heard was that…
Ívar was dead.
And you never suspected that he went up north to kill him?
How was I supposed to think of that?
The only thing that mattered to you
was that nobody would find out that you slept with her.
Magdalena, I'm so sorry.
What are you suggesting, anyway?
Does he have something to do with Ívar's murder?
Wait here.
Bergur?
Where's Hinrika?
She went to the caves.
Bergur!
Where are you going? Bergur, wait!
Bergur, wait a minute, I need to talk to you.
-Haraldur. -Hello? Hinrika?
If you see Bergur, stop him.
Where are you going?
Fuck!
Bergur!
Wait, Bergur!
Did you have anything to do with Ívar's murder?
-Get out. -Did you go up north?
-Did you kill Ívar? -Get out of the fucking car!
Bergur!
-Help! -Hey!
He's got a gun!
We need backup. He's armed and he's got Sóley in the car.
I've already asked for road blocks.
Hopefully they cut him off before he reaches the bridge.
We live on a fucking island, he's not getting away from us.
He's unstable and we have to stop him before he hurts her.
Stop the car. Please.
Please. I'm begging you. Stop the car.
Let me out. Now.
-Stop the car. -Shut up.
-Stop the car. -Shut up!
-Let me out of the car! -Shut the fuck up.
Or I'll fucking shoot you, seriously.
Seriously!
Fuck. No. Fuck.
Let me out.
No, hey! You're not fucking moving.
Andri! What are you doing? Andri!
Hey!
Don't come any closer! Or I'll shoot her.
Bergur.
Talk to me. Bergur!
Let her go and we'll let you drive off, okay?
He deserved it.
Who deserved what?
Kristján was screwing my sister.
We'd known him since we were kids. What a fucking creep.
Did you drive up north after your talk at his office to tell Ívar about it all?
Kristján destroyed my sister's life and I was going to destroy his.
What are you doing here?
-Bergur, what the fuck are you doing here? -Okay, I have to tell you.
Lína and your dad slept together.
Why do you think we broke up?
You knew about it?
Don't you remember anything?
She admitted it, that night when you hit that child and drove off.
I came over to your place to help you
and there she was and she went on about it,
claiming she'd been drunk and that my dad had hit on her
and you crying like a fucking wimp, man. Blacked out.
Ívar, are you telling me that you killed her?
She fucking deserved it.
She was a fucking slut.
Why didn't you tell the police about this?
It wouldn't have mattered. She'd still be dead.
At least Ívar would've gone to prison.
Really? Don't you think you would've fucked it all up again?
It's your fault that he got away with murdering my sister.
And it's your fault that Sverrir is dead.
If you hadn't fucked it all up, none if this would've happened.
Lína is dead.
Sverrir is dead.
I've got nothing to live for anymore.
Hey, Bergur.
Shoot me. Or I'll kill her.
Bergur! She hasn't done anything to anybody!
-Come on, you're not going to shoot-- -Shoot me.
-You're not going to shoot anybody. -Shoot me.
-Bergur! -Shoot me!
-Come on! -Shoot me!
Bergur!
No! Bergur!
Are you all right?
It's okay.
The Reykjavík district court is in session. Case number S-1090/2021.
The People vs. Andri Ólafsson.
The defendant is charged with a violation of penal code section 23,
involving manslaughter and bodily harm.
Even though the defendant is a member of the Metropolitan Police force,
he was not on active duty on the night in question
as he had been suspended from the investigation of this case.
Therefore, his offence cannot be defended by police laws in any way.
Furthermore, his previous history should be taken into account,
as he was found guilty of misconduct in 2013
after having used excessive force during an interrogation
in a case connected to this one.
The victim then was close to the deceased.
And you arrived on the scene after the defendant.
Yes.
And what happened on the bridge between the defendant and the deceased?
Andri was forced to shoot him.
Bergur would've killed her.
He saved the girl's life.
You testified against Andri eight years ago.
Yes.
Have you ever witnessed him using excessive force since then?
No.
Not even on that bridge?
No.
So, by your assessment, it was necessary for him to shoot that man?
Yes, it was necessary.
I would like to use this opportunity
to apologize to Andri for having testified against him that time.
He was right.
I was wrong.
Ívar was the one who killed Lína.
Eight years ago, I made a huge mistake in my work as a police officer.
And now three young men are dead.
I have failed in this case.
I don't feel like I have any justification for my actions.
And I'm ready to face the consequences.
According to the testimony presented here today,
it seems evident that the defendant saved a young woman's life,
when she was threatened with a firearm.
However, the court cannot overlook the fact
that other police officers were present at the scene, who could've stepped in.
Furthermore, it is important to note
that the defendant was not authorized to carry a firearm at that time.
Therefore, the court finds him guilty of manslaughter.
Place all personal items in the basket.
Yes.
Could I make one short phone call?
-Hi. -Hi, Andri.
I just wanted to say hello.
Good to hear from you.
I had promised to call you more often.
Listen… I will be taking a short vacation.
Yes, I read something about it in the paper.
Two years. Is there anything I can do for you?
No, don't worry about that.
-Andri? -Yes.
I am proud of you.
Thanks, Mom.
That's good to hear from you.
Now try to get some rest.
Okay.
Goodbye.
