There.

Tuck the tarp underthe cross-pieces.

- There you go.

- Roar?

- You always stay with your clients?

- No, not always.

Only when they need the job

done fast. It's gonna rain soon.

Hurry up.

- I can't reach the last cross-piece.

- I've got you, David. I promise.

Climb another step.

There you go. Tuck it in,

so the wind won't catch it.

Stretch out.

You can reach it.

It's tucked underthree pieces now.

I'm coming down.

No, Roar!

What the f*** are you doing?

Stop!

No! Roar!

Are you okay?

Anything wrong?

Just come on down.

You're pale as a ghost.

- Are you okay?

- Yes.

- Oh, by the way, thanks for the gift.

- The gift?

You sure do have a considerate girl.

Let me just grab this.

Much obliged.

They're so cute.

They moved in already.

The Geo Center already ordered

five more. The kids just love them.

Roar just...

- You gave Roar a hat?

- A hat?

Yes, he just said so.

Oh, that hat?

No, Berte gave it to him.

The storekeeper.

She asked me to give it to him.

So why did he say

you gave it to him?

How should I know?

He must have got it wrong.

Hey, you can give him a hat.

I just want to know.

Look, I'd tell you,

if I'd given him a hat. I haven't.

Are you jealous?

Because Roar fixed my birdhouse?

You're jealous.

Look, I'm not into hicks.

I'm into geniuses... like you.

That's way too violent, David.

It doesn't fit into our universe.

Please remove that feature.

David?

Are you okay?

Sure.

THE SEASON BEGINS

FOR MN'S HUNTING CLUB

Freja?

DEAR EMPLOYERS:

A LITTLE GIFT FOR YOU - ROAR

DEAR VERONIKA:

YOUR DANIEL:

Hi. I just came to thank you

For the deer.

- Nice one, isn't it?

- Very nice.

I gotta admit

I've fallen in love with her.

Trine Dyrholm.

But then who hasn't?

Hello. We're looking for

Roar Panowski Poulsen.

- Can we come in?

- Sure.

Please wait here.

It's all a misunderstanding.

David?

I caught some herring.

All that hunting talk inspired me.

- You look like you've seen a ghost.

- The police just came.

They took Roar in.

I've got something to show you.

You're going through his stuff?

F***, it's gone!

He must have seen me.

I found a note before addressed

to Veronika and signed Daniel.

- Who are they?

- Roar's former clients.

Daniel died at the cliffs.

It was Daniel's suicide note.

- Why would Roar have that?

- Maybe it wasn't the real note.

Maybe...

- Maybe it was a draft.

- A draft?

Maybe Roar wrote

Daniel's suicide note.

- You're saying that Roar?

- Yes. To practice his handwriting.

- What did it look like?

- A handwritten note on ruled paper.

Could this be it?

No.

It was addressed to Veronika.

- Think he'd keep the note, if he...

- Why else would the police show up?

I don't know. Maybe they caught him

speeding or something.

In his tractor?

No.

Who's there?

There!

In front of you!

Man, you looked funny!

I was just taking the piss.

Sorry.

Island humor.

Look, I get that you're...

Okay, let me cut to the chase.

A couple of months ago

I was at the Duck, when these...

Is that herring?

Can I have one?

Anyway, I was at the Duck, when

these two fishermen got into a fight.

There's this vendetta between the

east and the west part of the island.

I tried to split them up,

and suddenly I'm attacked.

- By a dog.

- A dog?

Yeah, believe it or not.

Look.

No!

The local cop, Jensby, always has

his dog with him. And it bit me.

So now the police arrest me

for assaulting an officer and his dog.

- I hope I didn't have you concerned.

- No... yes.

Sometimes your imagination gets

the better of you.

And then I come charging out

like a loonie.

Baby, come over here.

- I'm really sorry about that.

- It's okay. I'm going to the bathroom.

- This is nice.

- They took you in for questioning?

HUNTING HA:

Are you asleep?

What if he was lying

about that fight?

Look, David...

You saw the wounds on his leg.

That could be anything.

What if the police took him in

for questioning about the suicide -

- but had to let him go

on lack of evidence?

What if he's conning the lot of us?

I think he's lying.

And even worse,

I think you're lying too.

- You think I'm lying?

- You gave Roar that hat.

Here.

Hunting hat, 299.

You go through my stuff, David?

Are you jealous?

Is that what this is about?

You've got everything wrong.

Berte asked me to give Roar that

stupid hat because he mows her lawn.

It got mixed in with my groceries,

and she accidentally put it on my bill.

But we found out, and she punched out

a new bill, without the hat.

I've got two bills,

and you just found the old one.

You expect me to believe that?

David, I've had it!

Freja...

Come back to bed.

Come back inside!

Freja, stop it.

Don't sit there.

Let's go back inside

and talk about it.

Happy now?

No hat!

I'm sorry, baby.

I got it all wrong.

Aren't you going to work?

Sit down for a sec.

David, I don't know you anymore.

I don't know what's going on with you.

What happened to

that relaxed, fun guy?

Where are you?

What's happening to you?

He's not coming between us.

- You are.

- I know.

But it ends here.

I promise.

If I get myself all worked up again,

I have these two -

- to remind me that I'm the fool.

It's just me.

Okay, it's nothing.

Gotcha!

Cute little marten, huh?

Hey, wait!

Can't you... set it free or something?

It's just gonna come back.

No more scratching sounds.

David.

You forgot your bag.

Thanks.

- Sorry. I had a terrible morning.

- Finally. Let's get started.

- You're gonna like this.

- I hope so, David.

Okay, let's get started.

If it's good,

I guess it's worth waiting for.

You're gonna like this.

Have you still got that handyman

staying with you?

Yes. In orderto get

the job finished faster.

It turned out to be a great idea.

Nothing fishy about that suicide?

No, they were just stupid rumors.

Too bad. I had my sights set

on a real murder mystery.

- Call it a work hazard.

- How do you mean?

The handyman fucks the wife.

The wife falls For the handyman.

The husband understands nada,

and they push him over a cliff.

Feigning a suicide.

But that's only the beginning, because

the handyman craves fresh meat -

- and Freja's too hot,

and David Hjort understands nada.

I'm just making it up.

David.

- Berte?

- Yes.

Have you got Veronika's address?

What do you want from Veronika?

In 100 meters, turn right.

Turn right.

THE CLIFF WOODS:

Make a U...

Make a U-turn.

Hi.

How come you use the back door?

Sorry, I didn't know.

But does Veronika live here?

- Sure. Come in.

- Thanks.

Veronika.

Sorry, I don't think she's there.

Excuse me.

My name's David.

I hired this handyman, Roar...

Have you got a minute?

- Are you married?

- Engaged.

- And Roar is working at your house?

- Yes.

I'd advise you to fire him right away.

And now I want you to leave.

I just need to ask you...

Did you go to bed with Roar?

I just want to understand

what happened.

- How did you meet him?

- The realtor knew him. Please go.
