-What's your name? -Wisting. William.
Let's see... Are you signed up, William?
Just for the informational meeting.
You don't have to sign up for the course. We'll take the details later.
We're just waiting for a few more people.
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF: A COURSE IN SELF REALIZATION
-I recognized you right away. -Oh, yeah?
-It's about time I made an effort. -I think you're great as you are.
Thanks, but there's been a lot of long days and takeaway lately.
Yeah, I knew that. I'm sorry, I...
Yeah.
Over there, under the branches.
It looks like he's been laying here since summer.
-Look at his clothes, Hammer. -It can also be an accident.
Drunk man, heading home, gets indisposed...
Some people want it to be a murder, others want to keep options open.
We need people at the parking lot now.
-Can you do that, Benjamin? -Yes.
Hammer?
Hi, it's closed off here. You can't be here.
LAYING DEAD FOR THREE MONTHS
"Loneliness in the best country in the world."
"Man lies dead for months before random electrician found him."
The TV was on for three months while Viggo Hansen was mummified.
-What channel? -Sorry?
What channel was on?
I can ask dad. The guy was my neighbor growing up.
-Did you know him? -It's just that. We hardly knew him.
Don't think you're getting home early for Christmas.
If we do a feature on that, we'll do it during the holidays.
-Line! Personal, with good pictures. -I'll head to Larvik right away.
Lots of people are named Hansen, but few Viggo.
Probably not.
-I'll take all you can find. -All right.
-Thanks, Fredrik, you're my hero. -I know. Bye.
-Siri, call dad again. -Calling dad.
We can assume that the man was in his 60s. Dressed for summer.
We found hair in his hand. Possible sign of a struggle.
-Fingerprints? -The body is too decomposed.
Are you with us, Hammer?
And we found this in his inner pocket.
"Sailing for Jesus"?
It was in the plastic folder.
If he put it there himself... it could have fingerprints on it.
And Magdalena, the bible ship?
From Gothenburg. Was here 9th to 11th of September, as per Google.
-So what do we announce? -As little as possible for now.
Just say that we've found a body, because that much is unavoidable.
-Hi. -Hi, Line.
-Hi. -Line! Hi!
-Bjørg Karin! -So good to see you!
-Are you home for Christmas? -I'm actually working.
Exciting! What are you writing about?
-It's Line. -Daughter.
She works for VG. Didn't think they'd pick it up so fast.
-Hi, Line. -Frank...
-Is it Ellen? -No, no. Calm down.
-I'm calm. Is it Ellen? -It's a man.
-OK? -Hi, Frank.
Shall I see you out?
-Hi, honey. -Hi.
-Sorry I haven't answered. -That's OK. What was that?
Frank Robekk. The Ellen case. He's gone on like that for years.
-Has something happened? -Here? No.
-We haven't met. -This is Line, my daughter.
-Christine Thiis, new prosecutor. -Hi. Christine. Nice to meet you.
Good to see you, Line, but what are you doing here?
-I'm writing about Viggo Hansen. -About Viggo?
It's a feature about loneliness for VG's weekend issue.
This from the managing editor about access to pictures.
-Christine decides. -OK.
-I have to run. -OK.
But do you think I can get access to his house, too?
Yes. Come with me, and I'll give you the keys.
-Thanks. -Bye.
DECEDENT'S ESTATE
-Yes? -Hi, Line.
I've mailed you the names of Viggo Hansen's classmates.
-Cool. Thanks, Fredrik. -One of the is a hotshot artist.
Eivind Aske, do you know him?
Wow, did they go to school? I know who he is. Do you have an address?
What the fuck are you doing here?
You can't just walk in just because a house is empty and a man is dead.
The police gave me the keys. What are you doing here?
Haven't you caused enough trouble today?
-Hello. -Welcome.
Thanks. Wisting, Hammer and Fjeld. Are there any signs of violence?
There's a possible fracture in the left temple.
The skull is exposed in a diameter of 3.5 cm.
It's too early to conclude, but I can't rule out blunt violence.
What about the clothes? What about the clothes?
The jacket is from Brioni.
Pants: John Henry, dress pants. Shoes: Wolverine, size 11.5.
All I get are American sites. Ebay, Find&Save, Shopko.
Do we have a murdered American?
We'll continue tomorrow.
-Hi. God, so much. -Hi! What?
Suddenly everything started ringing.
-You're home for Christmas! Great. -Why? You're in Tanzania.
Yes, but only until the weekend.
-Really? -I also want to go home.
-Great. -I want Christmas ribs! Doing good?
BODY FOUND IN STAVERN
-Can you hear me? -Sorry, I have to go.
-All I said was 'rib'. -It's work. Sorry.
Dad? The body you found today, was it a murder?
It could just as well have been a drunk who fell asleep in the cold.
I found this in the storage room. Christine said you wanted a flipover.
That'll do.
It's me. I used the wrong marker. Mom was really angry.
Hungry?
I thought there'd be lots of flies and larvae on it.
It was so dry and cold there, so Viggo simply dried up.
Pretty neat.
Imagine being dead for four months, sitting next to a homicide detective.
-Ha, ha. -Has no one commented that?
It's not illegal to die in your chair. It's just sad.
If you never meet anyone, things like that can happen.
You meet people now and then, right?
I'm not lonely, honey. I don't have time for that.
Hi. Alfheim here, from Kripos. I have something you need to know.
The brochure the deceased had gave us some fingerprints.
We checked them, and they belong to a guy who's wanted in the US.
An American named Robert Godwin.
-I mailed you a link. -Okay. Give me two seconds.
-Do you know what he's wanted for? -He's a serial killer.
-Larvik police. -Hi, I'm calling from VG.
I'd like the latest update before we go to press.
-What do you mean? -Just the latest developments.
Nothing but peace and quiet here. Anything in particular?
OK. Thanks.
An American serial killer under a Norwegian Christmas tree?
Maybe.
The FBI is sending two people.
That's one woman and one man. Special agents.
They're already on the plane.
-So they're taking over? -They'll assist and observe.
If anyone's in charge here, it's us.
They'll ask lots of questions, so we'll be wasting time.
FBI has more experience with serial killers than we do.
According to Kripos, they've hunted Godwin for more than 20 years.
But it's our investigation, so let's make an extra effort.
We don't know that it's Godwin.
We only know that the body had Godwin's fingerprints-
-on a brochure in his pocket, and they're the same age.
So we either have a dead serial killer, or one of his victims.
In Larvik.
The FBI insisted on one thing: This can't get out.
Not in town, not at home, and absolutely not to the press.
Here are more results from Oslo.
They couldn't check for DNA, but the hair is a woman's.
-A possible victim? -Or one who refused to become one.
I checked the dates for when the bible ship was here.
I found a complaint from someone who rented out to an American.
Peter Crabb from Minneapolis. He disappeared without paying.
Good work, Torunn.
-Hi. -Hi.
Just say hi, and he'll calm down.
Hey, there! Else-Britt Gusland. Hi.
I called in September, but you didn't care back then.
Is it the body they wrote about?
We have to check everything.
Is this the guy who rented here?
Hard to say, he was a lot older.
But I've seen the picture before. It was among Crabb's stuff.
-His stuff? -Yeah, I had to pack them.
He just left. And when he came back, I had changed the lock.
-Did he come back? -In September, when I called you.
-Do you know it was him? -It would have to be.
The tenants called, frightened, saying someone tried to get in.
So you still have his stuff?
Peter Crabb is a retired university professor from Minneapolis.
Divorced. 67 years. His neighbors reported him missing in August.
He was supposedly looking for relatives in Norway.
-Do we have a passport picture? -I've requested it.
Memory card.
Hi, this is William Wisting's answering machine.
Hello?
It's the police! Come out!
I'm sorry. The door was open. Or I've gotten keys from...
-Line? Wisting's girl? -Yes.
-Remember me? Bjarne. -Bjarne?
Your dad trained me. It must be half an eternity ago.
I should give you my condolences, even though it's been...
A year, almost.
A year. That must have been a shock.
You would think a disease would have been better, to get used to it.
But she was a great woman.
Dear Viggo. I wish you a merry Christmas. Yours, Irene.
We don't get to cooperate with the FBI every day.
Last time was when "The Scream" was stolen, before the '94 Olympics.
Sorry to keep you waiting. My colleague got pulled into customs.
-I'm sorry. Chief of police, Andrea. -Special Agent Maggie Griffin.
-This is Special Agent John Bantham. -Hi.
-Pleased to meet you. -Hi. Wisting, investigative leader.
-Chief investigator. -Yes, chief investigator.
-Hi. -Yeah, so, let's go.
So Larvik has the best spa hotel in the Nordic countries.
-That's where we're staying? -Yeah.
Does everyone understand the delicacy of the situation?
Once it gets out that we're here looking for Godwin,
CNN and Fox News will be circling above our heads.
Don't worry. We're keeping everything very close.
-Should we get you to the hotel? -No, let's get straight to work.
The DNA report came in. The body you found is Peter Crabb.
And there's no way Crabb and Robert Godwin is the same person?
No. We're hunting a serial killer.
Okay. This is Maggie Griffin, John Bantham. FBI special agents.
Thanks for having us, we're looking forward to this.
-Please, have a seat. -Thank you.
-Thanks. -You're welcome.
FBI has matched the DNA from the dead body
with Peter Crabb, the missing American.
Which means that Godwin is still out there, probably nearby.
-Can you walk us through your work? -Torunn?
I'm sorry, I have to go.
My husband got held up at work, and kindergarten is about to close.
I'm sorry. Sorry.
But shouldn't they be briefing us?
I mean, who is this guy?
And why the fuck is he in Norway?
Robert Godwin is wanted for six murders in the US.
Now we believe he could be guilty of at least 11 more.
Why flee to a remote place like this, Larvik?
We've always considered Norway a possibility, but with no solid lead.
-Why was Norway a possibility? -Godwin had Norwegian ancestors.
As is the case for 20 percent of the population in Minnesota.
Godwin studied the language and gave lectures in Norwegian culture.
We believe he speaks your language fluently, and he's perfected it.
-He would need a different identity. -We think he's become a caveman.
Yeah, sure.
It's not the center of the universe, but we're not neandertalere.
-I'm sorry? -We're not cavemen.
With long beards, hunting wild animals and...
...making sounds and knocking women with sticks.
"Caveman" is what we call someone who takes over someone else's life.
How can you take over someone's life?
You identify your victim, get to know him, become his friend.
You study him and his behavior up close until you know enough.
And only then, you kill him. Wear his life like a suit.
We've known several cases over the years.
These are extremely dedicated individuals.
Where does Peter Crabb come into this?
Crabb taught at the same college that Godwin did.
We think that Crabb has been following Godwin for years.
You think Crabb found Godwin and was killed?
But the hair in his hand was female.
Crabb had several strands of hair, as if he had pulled...
Expect a drastic change of appearance.
Perhaps the hair that you found came from a wig.
Most high quality wigs come from female human hair.
Hi, Fredrik. I've found some cards from an Irene and Fred at Viggo's.
-Could you check his classmates? -No problem.
I'm almost at Aske's now. I'll call you back.
Hi. You probably don't remember me,
but I interviewed you once for Østlands-Posten. Line Wisting.
I'm working for VG now, and I'm writing a feature.
It's about my neighbor, your old classmate, Viggo Hansen.
Do you have time for a chat?
-I have a class photo. -OK.
Is this your class?
Yes. Here you have Viggo.
I didn't know him much, but he was a weird one.
-Who were his friends? -He was with him a good deal.
-What was his name, Odd Werner? -Odd Werner?
I don't know if they were friends or just both left out.
-You haven't met him as an adult? -No.
-It's a small town. -I have to work now.
Could I at least get a picture?
We found a memory card on Crabbs camera.
All the pictures are of old farms and abandoned places.
Sometimes just old fields. We don't know what...
Hold on. Is that a well? Go back.
Go back again. And again. Back.
Again.
What?
You need to look at cases with missing women, 20 years back.
Godwin hid all his victims in old wells.
We've uncovered 17 remains of young women in wells.
He held them captive, up to 72 hours. In some cases raped them.
Do they have special traits? Does he have a type?
Oh, yeah. Young women, white. Pretty. Mostly blonde.
-Like this? -Who is it?
Her name is, or was, Ellen Robekk.
Her uncle, Frank Robekk, was our colleague.
And we never found her.
It destroyed him. It did something to all of us.
Put her on the list.
From Aske to Viggo.
Let me out!
