Over the Edge Page #3

Finn Lund?

You bought a house. It seemed

to be in good shape, but it wasn't.

Did Roar suggest

he move in with you as well?

Is that Daniel?

Yeah, and he doesn't deserve

to hear this.

Oh, it's whisky.

Our house was out by the cliffs.

It was perfect,

apart from a little plumbing -

- so we contacted Finn,

and he knew Roar.

Roar became a close friend.

A little too close.

One night I came home -

- and found my diary

on the kitchen table, open.

And Daniel wasn't home.

And then I saw him.

He was standing on the edge

of the cliffs, and I ran to him.

I begged him to understand that this

thing with Roar didn't mean anything.

It was just a fling.

He didn't even get mad. He said he

understood. He had been too distant.

And then he asked me

to go back home.

So I did.

And on the way back I realized

something was terribly wrong.

Daniel would never read my diary.

So I ran back,

and then I heard a scream.

And Daniel was gone.

I saw someone running

into the woods where Daniel stood.

- So did I.

- It was Roar.

He stood there waiting for Daniel

to jump. But he didn't. So he...

He pushed him, you see?

You've reached Freja.

Leave a message.

Freja, I just talked to Veronika.

Roar did it! Get out of the house.

Roar.

I'm happy with your work,

and I'll pay what I owe you.

- But our collaboration ends here.

- Baby...

I don't want to... Hey!

I don't want to discuss it.

Freja and I are going for a walk,

while you pack up your stuff.

Pack up and be gone

by the time I return.

- Or else I'm calling the police.

- Oh, come on...

Stay away!

Freja, come here.

Come here!

- What the hell is going on?

- I talked to Veronika...

I got your message,

and I tried to call.

Roar told me all about it.

Veronika is nuts.

She's badmouthing Roar

because he rejected her.

- And you believe him?

- Sure! And you should too.

Are you in love with him?

Where are you?

Look into my eyes.

What's going on?

- David, don't.

- Look, he's dangerous.

He was cooking dinner!

And so was I as a matter of fact.

If you call the police, it's over.

He's inside.

- Did you get in a fight?

- No, but he won't leave.

Roar, the complainant wants you

off his property. Please leave.

- Do you want me to...

- No. Look, I live here too.

Roar is our handyman.

He lives in the shed.

He no longer lives in the shed,

and I want him out of my house now.

- Come with me.

- No...

Roar wrote Daniel's suicide note.

I saw a draft among Roar's things.

That note was addressed

to some Vera.

- You didn't see the same note.

- I did.

- David has been stressed out.

- She's got it all...

Baby, listen to me!

You've got it all wrong.

I talked to Veronika...

Be quiet!

You, stay here.

- I talked to Veronika.

- Look. I understand your concern.

I've heard the rumors about Roar,

but I investigated this case -

- and three independent witnesses

saw Roar that night at the Duck.

But they're Roar's friends.

Off the record,

Veronika is a bit... you know.

It's tough to have driven

your own husband over the edge.

Sometimes you search for an

explanation to ease your own guilt.

You know?

Lene!

No, don't just leave.

I hope you work things out.

Try talking to someone.

NEED HELP?

CALL ME:

David.

This just isn't working.

You're not yourself.

What with the police

and the iron bar...

I just don't know you anymore.

Freja...

I have to give this back to you.

I'm sorry.

This just isn't working.

You're not yourself.

I have to give this back to you.

Are you asleep?

- I think you're lying too.

- You think I'm lying?

Are you asleep?

It's okay if you gave him a hat.

David, I love you.

Leave your imagination at work,

okay?

Come on!

Try it on.

Yes.

I will marry you.

I will marry you.

I will marry you.

David?

I saw you from my window.

Are you okay?

Come on.

You shouldn't be out here alone.

- What are you doing?

- Relax. Just hold on to the rope.

What if we're the crazy ones,

you and I?

- Here. Put these on.

- Three witnesses saw him.

Sure, but I just know

I saw Roar that day on the cliffs.

No thanks.

It's so depressing to smoke alone.

Have one.

- David speaking.

- Detective Tom Jensby here.

I was at your house the other day.

I'm writing my report and just

need to get a few things straight.

- You have the note you mentioned?

- No.

If you find it,

I'd like to see it.

I checked out the witnesses -

- and Roardoes in fact know

one of them from the hunting club.

However, the other two check out.

I just thought

I'd correct that little error.

- Call us, if you find the note.

- But still...

Bye.

Veronika.

I dreamt we were... in Mexico.

The police just called.

You were right.

Roar did know one of the witnesses.

Did you hear me?

I bet it's Finn.

Got any coffee?

They asked me about the note too.

I bet Roar burnt it.

Have you still got

Daniel's suicide note? Can I see it?

Roar wrote this.

I recognize it from the draft.

We must give the police proof.

We'll just pretend we have something.

Video games are about making people

believe something that isn't real.

We'll tell Roar we found the pad

he wrote the suicide note on.

We found the pad

with his fingerprints on.

If he did it, he's bound to believe us.

Mexico.

You want to move to Mexico

and start over.

And you need money for the trip.

He has to pay for your trip.

I'll get Freja out of the house.

On my cue,

go in and talk to Roar.

- I'll be monitoring you.

- What if he didn't do it?

What if I'm imagining things?

You're scared, and I understand that.

But he can't harm you, because

he thinks we've got proof.

I can't.

"When you read this, please know

that you were always on my mind."

"When I'm gone,

look to new horizons."

"Remember

that time heals all woes."

"Your Daniel."

It's beautiful

no matter who wrote it.

It's "wounds".

Isn't it "time heals all wounds"?

Yes.

- What was Daniel's job?

- He was a school teacher.

- David, do you hear me?

- Yes. Quiet. Freja's close-by.

Freja.

- What's up?

- She just went inside.

- I'll think of something.

- Careful.

Stand by.

The water's back.

- I reopened the old well.

- It's been closed?

You're tapping into the womb

of Mother Earth.

David?

- Crystal clear water.

- It looks clean.

Let's celebrate with a toast

of Mn's finest.

- Now you can water your sunflowers.

- Yes.

No, Roar.

It's too soon after David.

I understand.

Hey! Who's there?

I know this seems crazy,

but I have to talk to you.

I just need ten minutes

with you on the beach.

Say you're going for a walk alone.

If you ever loved me, do this for me.

Is she coming out?

Yes. Ready?

Go on in. I start recording now.

- What's going on?

- I know it seems crazy, but trust me.

I came to return these.

I knocked, but there was no answer.

I just wanted to see you face to face

and say goodbye properly.

I'm knocking now.

Ready?

- Veronika. What do you want?

- I've got something to show you.

- The pad you wrote the suicide...
