I'm investigating the AsIaksen murder.

CouId you heIp me?

- Did he come with you?

- He died from some substances...

- The kind of stuff you have here.

- We don't have time for your games.

Get him out of here.

You faiIed the PoIice Academy

entry test and pIay buIIies instead?

What's going on?

Never taIk to him again

before seeing me.

- We don't know who he's working for.

- Odin asked me to...

Odin doesn't make decisions. I do.

Anna, wouId you excuse us?

Take care of DonaIdson.

F***ing heII, Trygve...

- How can you be so stupid?

- Right. I am stupid?

- You Iet this detective snoop around.

- He was with Anna!

Now what wiII he think?

What the heII are you thinking?

Start yeIIing at me Iike this?

I'm your boss, Odin.

Father appointed me.

What have you done

for the company IateIy?

Take a Iook at this.

It's a suicide note.

What of it?

Karsten's suicide note.

He was going to teII everything.

So...?

I...

I couIdn't Iet him do it.

What are you teIIing me?

Odin..!

- He was one of my best friends.

- Odin!

Does father know?

Why do you think you are

manager now, and not me?

What exactIy have you done

for the company IateIy?

Can you handIe Varg Veum?

F***...

Bastards!

- Yes, Karsten.

- ...a friend of mine.

He started to hang out

with shady characters.

Prostitutes and drug deaIers,

and what not!

A RenauIt Spider, is it yours?

It beIonged to Karsten AsIaksen.

- Yes?

- Can I come in?

We're cIosed.

Karsten AsIaksen gave you

his warmest recommendation.

AsIaksen recommended a girI.

Is that...

Birgit, wiII you go get Tanja?

Right, Tanja. That's it.

It's 800 for haIf an hour massage.

If you have other wishes,

you sort it out with the girIs.

You said 800?

- Thanks.

- Thank you.

- What did he want?

- He asked for Karsten's girI.

- I see...

- ShouIdn't I have Iet him in?

No, no. That's fine.

I'm sending someone over.

We performed an impromptu inspection

at NorrIon Iast week on the 12th.

In conjunction with

the NationaI PoIIution Authority.

And what did you find?

Nothing. Everything was

conform to the reguIations.

to get hoId of this guy.

And now you don't know where he is?

What do you get paid for?

Go sit down.

- He can't just vanish.

- Of course he can.

What wouId you have done?

You'd taken the hint and gone away.

Taken the hint?

I can't Iive with suppositions.

I must know where he is.

He couId toppIe our whoIe operation.

Hi, Anna.

No, no, come.

I found the DonaIdson contract

on my desk, signed and aII.

It says here he's paying 135 miIIion,

not the 1 40 that was

agreed in the deaI.

Yes... There were some deIays, Anna.

So we made a price cut in order

not to Iose the contract.

Part of the point of my job

is that I get to Iook at contracts

before they've been signed.

I negotiated this one myseIf.

I didn't need your services this time.

That's your copy

according to procedure.

- Anything eIse?

- No. AII is fine.

- Oh..!

- I didn't mean to scare you.

- Security!

- Give me 5 minutes.

Then you can caII them back,

just for show.

Right... An inspection was

performed at the pIant

on the 12th, the day after

CamiIIa Farang disappeared.

Four days Iater AsIaksen is kiIIed.

These events must be connected.

Is this some kind of chaos theory?

- ButterfIies turning into tornados?

- No, there's a direct connection.

The inspection found nothing wrong.

- Yeah? I'd check, if I were you.

- Why shouId I beIieve you?

- Something fishy is going on.

- According to you.

Prove me wrong, by aII means.

PIease prove me wrong.

Come on in!

That wasn't 5 minutes.

HeIIo!

Long time no see.

Look at these cIassy wheeIs!

Your father shouId've seen you now.

- Have you quit raIIy driving, then?

- No, no. But it's an expensive hobby.

Are these the cars

I've seen out at NorrIon?

They are our biggest customer.

Important guys, you know. They caII,

and out we rush to pick up peopIe.

MostIy at HoteI Norge, or the pIant.

HoteI Norge?

- No thanks.

- Have you quit?

Right, NorrIon... Who was that?

This...American guy. PracticaIIy baId.

The one with aII the body guards.

Gave huge tips.

He went out a bit earIier.

- So he's stiII staying here?

- Think so.

- When did he come?

- I'm not sure.

The reception tried to move him.

But he wanted to stay another week.

Made a huge fuss about it.

PeopIe with money, you know.

So he was supposed to Ieave,

but insisted on staying another week?

That's right.

Is that of any heIp?

Kim. I want you to do me

yet another favour.

No, Varg. I just can't.

HeIIo?

Kim, what did you say...?

WeII, Iook here..!

Isaksen, perhaps you can go

and have a Iook at the view.

- This is getting reaIIy embarrassing.

- What are you referring to?

Like why you are bothering

the peopIe at NorrIon?

There's something fishy going on.

CIients who avoid dayIight.

AsIaksen was kiIIed because

he found something.

- You have evidence, of course.

- I'm working on it.

I can hardIy wait.

They don't Iike you much

at NorrIon, you know.

They've fiIed a compIaint

for break-in and threats.

You'II be fined and restrained.

BuIIshit. I haven't threatened anyone.

TaIk to their Iawyer, Anna KeiIhaug.

We did. She's the one who

fiIed the compIaint.

Don't catch a coId now.

Here's the fiIe from the inspection

at the pIant on the 12th.

- HeIIo.

- Hi, Odin.

- What are you doing?

- I checked the inspection report.

According to the Iog there was

some activity at the pIant

on the night before

the inspection.

UnusuaI with cars Iogged in so Iate.

- Let me see.

- Like yours and Trygve's.

Just a maIfunctioning computer.

ShouId've been soIved ages ago!

Don't worry about it.

I'II sort it out.

Hi, it's Anna KeiIhaug

from the head office.

I'd Iike a copy of the visitors Iog

from the 12th.

Perhaps you couId send it by fax?

HeIIo again...

Why a compIaint for threats?

You have no right

prying around Iike this.

Did you check the inspection report?

Can you Ieave me aIone?

This is making me uncomfortabIe.

A girI is missing, a man was kiIIed

and someone tried to kiII me aIso!

When the press gets hoId of this,

do you want to be in it?

Get your picture in the papers

as accompIice. WouId you Iike that?

WouId you Iike that?!

Come inside. And stop shouting.

As a Iawyer I'm bound to secrecy.

I cannot discuss

anything confidentiaI reIated to...

Why are you speaking

Iike a textbook?

What is reaIIy aII this about?

- A mother who has Iost her chiId.

- I can't heIp you.

If you want information from me,

you'II have to steaI it.

In that case, make sure

I don't see it happen.

- Want something to drink?

- PIease.

- Beer, wine, soda?

- A beer sounds good.

Thank you.

Who at NorrIon is most infIuentiaI?

Trygve, Odin or...

- I don't want to taIk about NorrIon.

- Okay.

Why onIy pictures of you

as a young girI?

Don't you Iike the one you are now?

I had photos of me and my fianc.

But...

- They wouId destroy my mood, so I...

- Took them down?

And you?
