A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

Ragnarok - In Norse mythology, the definition of the end of the world.

Ragnarok begins with natural disasters

and culminates in the great battle between the gods and the giants.

EDDA, NORWAY

Say hello to your mother's new office.

What a dump.

Come on, Laurits, this is a lovely little town.

Do you remember anything from when we lived here?

- It'll be great here. - Shut the window, it's cold.

Hey. Be careful, old man.

Come on, pull around the guy.

Well, it looks like he's turning right.

Maybe he needs help.

Oh, for fucks sake

That's what Magne's like.

Are you okay?

Hi. Do you need help?

Do you know what a strange town this is?

Ah, let's see...

How do you start this, huh?

Ah, there we go. All right.

You okay from here? Can you manage?

Yes, yes, I'm fine.

You're a good kid.

Can we go now?

Sure.

Roll up the window.

It's gonna rain.

Yeah, right. There isn't a cloud in the sky.

The forecast promised nice weather the whole day,

EPISODE 1 NEW BOY

Do you remember grandma's old house?

Nah, not really.

Great, we get to live next to bums and drug dealers.

Maybe he can get you a job?

Magne, grab that for me, please!

EDDA - TOGETHER WE HAVE MADE EDDA A CLEANER PLACE

Yeah. Okay, good morning, everybody!

- Good morning, everybody! - Good morning.

Good morning, guys.

Okay, for starters we'll give a warm welcome to our two new students.

These are, ah, Magne and Laurits Seier.

You wanna say something about yourselves?

Yeah. Well, they're brothers, but you're not twins.

They'll be in the same class, anyway.

Yeah, I skipped a few years ahead, and Magne, well, he's good at other stuff.

I'm dyslexic.

Yep. Okay, so I think we should start by finding some space for you guys.

One of you can sit next to Gry.

Yeah, I think I could fit in here.

And Magne, you can sit in the back, next to Isolde.

Okay, then. We, um...

Let's pick up where we left off last time. We were talking about

Asatro, the religion of the Vikings.

You know what? Magne and Laurits,

I'll give you some texts that you...

It's a Tangle. Helps me concentrate.

Why is it of such particular interest

to talk about the old Norse gods?

Especially right here in Edda? Gry?

Because Edda was the last town in Norway to become Christian.

Ah, and to give up faith in the Norse gods.

Yes! That's correct.

One could say it all happened right here.

Ragnarok.

The end of the world. The final clash between the gods and the giants.

The Gods represented law and order and the giants chaos.

The balance of the world depended on the struggle between them.

But the gods were betrayed and died, and what happened to the Giants,

we don't know.

Kind of exciting, huh?

That's the same! It was you who was going to...

I'm not exactly very popular.

And you won't be either, if you hang around me too much.

I was never popular.

Okay. So you're gonna kill yourself by overdosing on fat and sugar?

So you're recruiting new members for Greenpeace, huh?

Yeah, when people dump plastic

and heavy metals everywhere somebody's got to do something.

Someone's actually gotta create jobs and earn money, you know.

Yeah.

Right?

You should watch out for her.

She's a little fanatic.

That's Fjor.

He's a Jutul. He's a senior.

Most of the other girls are obsessed with him.

Hey.

Just like all the guys are crazy about his sister, Saxa,

who's completely fake, by the way.

She's pretty.

Yeah.

If you're into Barbie dolls with a silver spoon up their ass.

Oh, and that's their mother, Ran.

She's the principle and also our English teacher.

She's also pretty.

So what about you?

You do anything other than fight plastics, or?

I talk about the environment on YouTube. But, hey, check it out yourself.

Is Snus good for the environment?

You can't save the whole world.

And I am only killing myself.

I paraglide too, that's kind of the same.

Give it to me, can I have some?

EDDA SECONDARY SCHOOL

Argh! Fuck!

What's wrong?

I think someone sent me a message. It's not the first time.

Maybe if I try to...

Just forget it. You can't fix it.

Note:

Today I fixed a wheel with my bare hands.

And I can see much better.

I don't know what's going on.

AUTHORITY

Our end-of-term paper is going to be about...

you!

Ahm, ah...

Me...

Me...

He's dyslexic!

Individuality and authority.

It's a group assignment.

I've assigned you into groups...

So, are those prescription or just fakes?

...so we have Leni, Oscar...

If you don't need them, there's no point in wearing glasses.

...and Ida. You're together. Isolde, Gry and you.

New kid. You're together.

So, new kid.

You are going to discuss Norwegian democracy.

Uhm,

okay, we could start with the definition of democracy in ancient Greece,

and tie it in with present-day Norway.

Hm!

Or, we could write about how politicians believe that they're in charge,

while in reality, it's the multinational corporations

and chains that control everything.

And who do you think produces that stuff?

You support them yourself.

Next time I'll ask for a group without any addicts.

Good luck with that. Half the school's on happy-pills.

Hm.

How about this? Something about the community and local industry?

That's actually not bad.

"The pristine nature is Edda's great pride."

It's fucking crazy.

What do you mean?

That society and the industry try to sell us a reality that isn't real.

And they're the ones in power.

Then you write a paragraph from that perspective for next class

and we'll take a look.

Hi, Laurits.

Hi.

Let's go up here.

Way to go. Does mommy pick you up from school every day?

Thank you for your email, Turid.

And I'd like to welcome you to our school, Magne.

Yes, I thought it would be nice to have a quick meeting.

Yes.

Magne does have some concentration problems,

and he's not very academically inclined.

Magne lost his father when he was six years old,

right before we moved away from Edda...

Yes, I remember it well.

It was really tragic.

That might have something to do with it.

He also has a pretty rash temper and he can be a little violent.

Especially in situations where he feels he's being treated unfairly.

Okay. And has this just started recently? Or...

He's always been interested in what's right and wrong...

I think we should close the window.

Isn't a bit of fresh air nice?

We've had some incidents throughout the years, right Magne?

Which didn't end well.

Both in kindergarten and in school, actually,

where things were broken and...

Well, it's not unusual for boys of Magne's age

to struggle with various issues.

I'm certain we'll be able to find a solution.

In any case, I'm here to help you.

That was real scary.

Holy cow, she's so pretty.

She must be 50, but doesn't look a day over 30.

She gets herself fixed up, I'd bet you.

Not that it matters, of course, but still...

Why don't you have your glasses?

Don't need them any longer.

Oh, come off it. You've worn glasses

since you were a two-year-old boy.

Hi, Vidar.

Turid?

Yeah. You recognize me?

I have changed a bit, huh?

Of course I recognized you. I'm so glad to see you.

This is my son Magne.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

We were just at a meeting with your wife at school.

Yeah, don't worry about Trym. He always get worked up around strangers.

Let me know if I can be of any help.

A job, anything.

You actually got me a job already, in accounting.

Yeah, yeah, of course. Naturally.

Great to see you.

You too.

Did you know each other well back then?

Mm-hm.

Are you going to kiss your wife?

I need to check something.

EDDA POST Edda will always miss you, Asbjørn

Asbjørn Seier was buried yesterday after a tragic accident.

He was only 32 years old.

Don't you think I look too old to be a senior?

Shouldn't I look a bit younger, maybe?

You're supposed to look 19, and that works. So...

Or is it because you think Gry is into younger guys?

That new boy in your class, what's he like?

The little or the big one?

The big one, the fatso. I want you to keep an eye on him.

Whom he hangs out with,

what he's interested in...

Why do you care anyway?

Don't you worry about that. Just do as I say.

You can fret about your good looks later.

104,5. Huge amounts of water in the Edda river this year.

The melting has started already, people. But here at radio Edda we say:

Enjoy the heat. Now for some fresh new hits sponsored by Jutul Industries.

What's up with the Nazi symbol?

It's grandfather's old monogram. An S rune.

Sweet. I thought mom didn't want you to play with tools.

I'm not playing with tools.

My bed is too short, I want to extend it.

With a sled?

Didn't that belong to Dad?

Yeah.

Do you remember how he'd pull you up the mountains?

I was always cold.

Do you think about him ever?

Nah. I was so little.

Dude, relax. This here is my Tangle.

Boys? Are you getting hungry?

You actually found that thing?

Is it me or does it smell of smoke in here?

Uh, that weird neighbor stopped by. With the RV. He was here.

- Here? - Fucking nasty how much he smokes, really.

Ah. Watch your mouth.

Laurits, could you buy us some dessert?

Did you have to get three boxes of ice cream? You know she can't handle it.

It was on sale.

Anyway, it's been a while since she enjoyed herself properly.

I have to write something for tomorrow.

Would you mind going over it?

Not at all. Gladly.

But then you do the rest of the dishes.

EDDA SECONDARY SCHOOL

She is so...

- Wow. - For the party next week.

Hi, boobies.

I think it's really very nice, Hilde.

- Thank you. I think so too. - Of course.

Hey, Gry, what do you say?

About what?

You're coming to Oscar's Saturday, right?

My mom might be getting off from work early.

There's not really any crime in this town anyway.

We could do it at our place? The cabin on the mountains?

That's much cooler. And you can all sleep over.

Hilde. It's absolutely essential that you bring your boobies.

Isolde! There's plastic!

There's plastic! Grab it! Plastic bottle!

Thanks.

Did you write this?

Yeah.

Laurits just revised it a little.

"Democracy does not work.

Therefore I believe that Norway needs a strong man

who can lead the people out of this eternal cycle

of quasi-democratic compromises."

Hey guys! I'm back again with this little fellow

I just found dead in the fjord. Say hello to Mr. Trout.

What killed Mr. Trout? We don't know.

My guess is, there's something in the water.

Let's take a lot inside of Mr. Trout.

A normal fish does not look like this.

If you ask at the country office,

they will say everything is peachy and normal in the fjord.

Something killed you, and I don't think you're gonna be the last one to die.

Unless we do something about it.

Individuality and authority. Group project.

Individuality and authority. Group assignment.

Are the authorities presenting us a fake reality?

Perhaps the image the authorities present us is not true.

Maybe the problem is bigger than anyone can see.

Maybe the underlying balance has been disturbed.

Gry,

- I've rewritten this. - Great.

You can take it home and...

I'm busy right now so I'll check it out tonight.

See you later, Laurits.

Magne.

My name is Magne.

Yes, of course.

Yeah. See you later, Magne.

So your mother doesn't want you doing any kind of sports?

I guess, chess is okay.

What? Wanna come? I'm going grocery shopping.

You could come over for dinner if you want.

Unless you're only allowed to eat cookies.

Come over?

Yeah?

Tonight?

Just thought it'd be fun. I'm not coming on to you.

And these here, Magne,

you don't need these.

Come on.

It's good that you've come.

We also need some water.

Water?

Yeah, you shouldn't drink the tap water.

We always drink tap water.

I really wouldn't if I were you.

Beware the spring equinox. It's dangerous on the mountain.

You might well be needed, Magne.

Don't worry about her.

Wagner.

The German composer Wagner.

Why are you here?

I live here.

I'm Isolde's father.

Oh.

- Should I leave? - No!

No, no, no, no. It's really very nice to have you here.

Help yourself to the last piece, Magne.

I'm going up the mountain on Saturday.

- The mountain? - Wanna come?

Watch out or she'll recruit you for one of her YouTube campaigns.

My father took me to the mountains when I was little.

To watch the glaciers. Maybe I should come.

Yes! And we'll paraglide back again.

I'm sure I can get us a tandem chute if you're allowed to paraglide.

You might find it disappointing, though, once we get up there.

- It's all melting away. - Still it's beautiful to see,

definitely worth the trip up there.

For the past three years I've been placing markers

to show how much it's retracting.

Yeah.

And whose fault do you think that is?

Well, there's, uh, there's lots of people to blame for that.

It's a global phenomenon, Isi.

Yeah, but some more than others.

Who's behind the pollution in this town?

Mmm.

Why do you think we can't drink the tap water?

Why do you think Mom died?

There are lots of people dying from cancer every day, Isi.

What do you actually write in that book?

All my little secrets.

How old was your mother?

Thirty-eight.

My father was 32.

I guess I should go.

Not a word about this to anyone.

Okay?

So, how was your teacher's house?

Quite nice, actually.

They have lots of books and listen to classical music.

Fuck, sounds kind of spooky if you ask me.

Did you know that Isolde is named after an opera by Wagner?

Hitler also liked Wagner.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Did you read what I wrote? - Yes. It's good.

Are you going to the mountains tomorrow?

- Mmm. - It's by invitation only, and so...

Isolde and I are going up there, too.

- So maybe we could... - Hey!

I have a better idea for what we can do tomorrow.

Our parents are away so the house is empty.

Let's stay in town and have the place to ourselves.

Holy shit, that's awesome!

That works out well for me, too.

What are you gonna do up there?

Go see the glacier.

That's too dangerous. There's landslides.

I'm sure we'll be just fine.

I've been up there before,

and it's not like you people actually own the mountain.

Uh, yes. Actually, we do.

That part of the mountain has belonged to our family, like, forever. So...

And the freedom to roam?

Yes, it basically you can go wherever you like...

At your own risk. But you already know that.

Right?

Of course.

Hi.

You look happy.

Had a nice day at school?

Hmm.

Want me to help?

No, no, no. It's fine.

I'll do it.

Magne.

Magne?

Officially spring starts tomorrow, since it's the spring equinox,

but here in Edda, spring has started early

and we're celebrating that with a hot little tune.

We make you feel alive on 104,5.

Did you know that beef generates eight times as much CO2 as chicken?

Really? But it's Taco Friday.

Magne has become a member of Greenpeace.

- Shut up, Laurits - But it's true.

You're sounding more and more the same as that

new little friend of yours, Isolde.

Do you have a... Is this a girl that you are...

- No! - Mom, don't get all excited.

She's a lesbian.

Oh, yeah!

My gaydar never fails.

There's nothing wrong with being lesbian.

What's important is that she's your friend.

We're going to the mountains tomorrow.

Let me ask you about your glasses!

Why aren't you wearing them?

- Are you ashamed or embarrassed? - No.

It's 'cause he's trying to score this chick called Gry.

No.

I'm starting to see better without glasses.

I don't know why.

But you should use them.

You mustn't ever let anything prevent you from practicing your reading.

Do we have a pair of hiking boots?

Could it be a phase that Isolde's going...

Uh, no, it's definitely not just a phase.

Many people go through phases. I did when I was...

- Do we...? - That's really not...

Yeah, I'll go check.

When I was sixteen I had a crush on a friend of mine...

Those stories from when you were sixteen,

can we skip them while we're having tacos?

All right, fine.

I'm not sure you can make the trip in those shoes.

I'll be fine.

Why are you wearing glasses?

Mother's idea. She said I should.

So you're wearing them for her sake?

Yeah.

Look how little Edda is.

No wonder people get weird living there.

I'd say I'm pretty okay.

You are? Just wait.

There's something sick about this town. It'll get to you.

I'm leaving first chance I get.

Study abroad, move away.

But I'll come visit you. We're friends.

We are?

Yeah.

Of course, we're friends.

You and I could just leave Edda together.

I promised Mom I'd stay.

You're in pretty good shape for someone who has never does sports.

My legs feel good today.

WARNING!

Waaa... waar... waaarn...

Warning.

Don't say it. Then I'll never get better. It's like with people who stutter.

Sorry.

It's because that wasn't here last week. It's new.

It's the bloody Jutuls hanging signs everywhere

to show they own the mountain.

How long have you been in love with Saxa?

Always.

Fuck her.

You're way too good for her.

I like you, new kid.

MESSAGES - LAURITS

Something's happened with Mother. You have to help me.

I think I have to go back.

What, now?

Something's happened to my mother.

What? Something serious? You want me to go with you?

No, no. I'll just run down and check on her.

It's probably not serious, I just need to go see.

Of course. I'll just fly down by myself.

PROPERTY OF JUTUL INDUSTRIES A/S ENTRY STRICTLY FORBIDDEN - LETHAL DANGER!

Hi, are you back already?

Is everything okay?

Yeah, sure, Mommy's cleaning up. These new curtains are nice, huh?

Yeah, well, she got much better, after I texted you.

But she was totally raving over her new curtains.

Fuck, you're such a pain.

Hey!

Hey! Watch out!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Isolde.

Isolde.

Isolde.

Hey. No. Hey.

No, no, no, no, no. Hey!

Hey. Hey.

Magne, what happened?

I don't know.

I'm the king of my own land

Facing tempests of dust

I'll fight until the end

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

One of the mightiest gods in Norse mythology,

Thor commanded the weather and the forces of nature,

fought the enemies of civilization and represented law and order.

You should try eating something, Magne.

Yuck! You put way too much sugar in your coffee. We gotta go.

You have to put more clothes on.

Not necessary. It'll get warm today.

Put these on.

No.

Watch out for him a little bit, okay?

Have a nice day!

EPISODE 2 541 METERS

Hey, uh, how are you doing?

Uh, what actually happened up there?

I don't know.

Why did you even go up there? The road was closed.

But that wasn't the way it...

But why did you leave her?

Okay, we have to go. Come on.

Did you see the new Facebook group

they put together in memory of Isolde?

No.

Hello, everybody. I know this would normally be your history lesson,

but, uh, for obvious reasons Erik is not here today.

I want you all to know that you...

Hi.

I just couldn't bear sitting at home.

Hi, everybody.

Yeah. I'll be fine.

- You sure? - Yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes.

But the spring party on Friday will naturally be cancelled out of consid...

No, no, no. Let's have the... let's have the party as planned.

I'm sure that's what, uh, that's what Isolde would have wanted.

We can therefore conclude that Isolde was killed in a tragic accident,

caused by inclement weather.

She was paragliding with a large tandem wing, which was struck by lightning.

This is most likely the point when she lost her mobile phone.

It has not been located yet, so if anyone finds it, please bring it to us.

The police consider the investigations concluded.

I'll now pass you on to your school psychologist. Sindre...

Yeah...

Hi, everyone. Thank you for coming.

First and foremost this is absolutely dreadful.

I want you to know that I am here for you, if anyone needs to talk...

Especially you, uh...

Magne.

Magne, yes. Since you, uh, witnessed the accident.

That must have been horrible. And the rest of you too...

Just call or text me or, uh, middle of the night, whatever, not on Thursdays,

'cause I'm busy. Otherwise, uh, call any time... Give a shout.

I'll leave some of my cards here.

So just get in touch if you want to talk or whatever...

If you feel the need.

Do you have a minute?

Isolde was an experienced paraglider who knew the area well.

Why wouldn't she try to avoid the power lines?

She was probably struck by lightning and lost consciousness,

and that's why she couldn't avoid the power lines.

But at that time there wasn't any lightning yet.

Magne, there was a thunderstorm that evening

and paragliding during thunderstorms is dangerous.

Exactly. She'd never fly in such conditions.

Maybe the, the storm took her by surprise.

Magne, I truly understand that you're upset, but the case is closed.

Hey, guys. So I'm standing

in front of the Jutul factory here in Edda.

I've emailed them about a toxic sewage from the metal facility just behind me.

But they haven't answered me yet.

Vidar Jutul! Vidar Jutul! Could you answer a few questions?

I'm in a bit of a hurry.

I've taken water samples in the area,

in the fjord around the factory,

and found an increased cadmium level.

We satisfy all the official standards.

You think this could have something

to do with the dead fish in the fjord?

We satisfy all the official standards.

Why won't you answer my questions?

I have a meeting with the mayor.

Absolutely. Yes. Hey, hang on a second.

Hi, Turid.

Taking a taxi?

Yeah, somebody vandalized my car.

- Are you okay? - Yes, sorry.

Looks like some jerk smashed my windshield with a hammer.

Could you handle the practicalities with the insurance company?

Mmm-hmm. Just forward whatever you got to me by email.

Great, I'll do that right now.

There. Thanks.

Naturally, you can come and take samples any time.

Just put it there.

Aren't you gonna help? There are lots more outside.

You're doing just fine.

Magne? Did you go out and wreck Vidar Jutul's car? With our sledgehammer?

Huh?

Laurits was here watching TV with me.

Put it there. You went out.

I wouldn't wreck somebody's car.

It says here, Vidar writes in his insurance claim that

he was watching the news at nine in the evening.

And then he heard his car get smashed.

But it makes no sense for me to have done this...

No, it certainly doesn't make sense!

Then why are you telling me I did it?

Yeah, and why are you lying to my face? Go to your room until you've made up

your mind to tell me what really happened out there.

And then go and buy me a new hammer, because I need my hammer.

PICK STARTING LOCATION

Hey.

The rest of us watch porn, you watch Google Earth.

Kinky.

Here. It's from Mom. It's for the new hammer.

EDDA SECONDARY SCHOOL

One, two, three, four, five, six...

282, 283, 284, 285, 286...

540, 541...

March 24th. I threw a hammer a distance of 541 meters.

I checked the world record, and it's 86 meters.

Join me in the sauna?

You'll never find out who threw it. Someone's angry with you.

A fired employee, a jealous husband or a furious woman.

But the humans like us.

We had an assembly at school today, remembering that girl that died.

All the kids were crying. I find that so difficult...

All those feelings.

And that big Seier kid started to ask the police a lot of questions.

Magne? Turid's boy?

You had a thing for Turid back in the day, didn't you? Have you seen her now?

That's what happens to them: They get fat, and sick and grow old, and then they die.

It was me.

It was me who killed that girl.

Isolde.

I thought we had agreed not to harm children.

She saw something up on the glacier.

The ice has retreated much more than I had thought.

There's an opening into the tunnel.

I've got it under control. It was an accident.

The police have already closed the case. So It'll be fine.

But they haven't found the girl's phone. So we must do that.

Don't you say a word to Fjor or Saxa. The fewer people who know, the better.

You didn't just get carried away

as you already were on the mountain looking for something to sacrifice...

I would never get carried away.

Never?

The social anthropologist works

with the social and cultural aspects of the human society.

There are almost no limitations as to what

a social anthropologist can do research in.

Gry, Magne, Isolde. You will...

Um, I'm sorry.

Do you want me to put you two into other groups?

No, no. We'll figure it out. We just need more time.

Maybe I can come by your place later to work.

Great. Good. And by the way, thanks for the paper topic.

Just, uh, just be careful that your entire project doesn't end up about how

it's only old white men who are destroying the world and,

causing all the ice to melt.

Well, aren't they?

Is this yours?

Oh, that. That's ancient. Probably doesn't fit anymore.

Do we have tea?

Gry's coming.

Oh right. His latest crush.

Oh dear. Magne?

Magne!

Try to relax a little. Here, take this.

No.

Calm down.

I'll fix you two something,

and then all you need to do is focus on being yourself, okay?

I mean, nearly yourself.

Go open the door...

"Social anthropologists look

at the development in a society in connection with the values of its people.

In the following, we shall try to provide such a social anthropological analysis."

You wear glasses?

What?

- Mmm-mmm. Uh, no. No. - No?

No. I mean, I used to.

You're funny.

Is that good?

Funny's good.

- Where are you from, actually? - Here and there.

Sorry, I, I have to say it's kinda difficult to get to know you.

If there were one thing you could tell me that says something about yourself,

what would it be?

Yesterday I discovered I can throw a hammer half a kilometer.

Okay.

That's great, really, cause that's incredibly far. Uh, but, um,

I think we should call it a day.

You coming to the party?

No.

327 please

Erik. It's such a tragedy.

Can you please let me know if I can do anything for you?

I'm sorry.

The hero's journey has begun.

Hello there, everybody! What's up with this crazy weather?

Yesterday it was 20 degrees and today we got hail! But my rhubarbs

have started growing a month early, so I just say "what's not to like?". Heh.

PAST WEATHER - EDDA

We'll keep it up here on 104.5 with a lovely spring tune.

Way to go.

You really get off on different stuff than the rest of us.

First it's Google Earth and now the weather forecast?

What's up next? Medicare?

Police say Isolde was struck by lightning.

But here it says, the lightning didn't start 'till an hour later.

Yeah, but, Magne, don't you think the police know what they're up to?

Something has happened to me since we came to Edda.

I can do stuff I couldn't do before.

Hmm, you still can't read.

I can throw a sledgehammer 541 meters.

Further, actually.

That night Isolde died I threw it 1.5 kilometers.

It was the hammer I threw that damaged Vidar's car.

Come on, nobody in the world can throw a sledgehammer one and a half kilometer.

I can.

Okay. Let's forget about this now,

and you join me for the party.

Well, what about Gry?

She'll probably also be there...

She thinks I'm a weirdo.

Yes, Magne, 'cause you are a weirdo,

who claims he can throw a sledgehammer one and a half kilometer.

SPRING PARTY

No, that's no fun. Come on.

Yeah, that's a good idea. Here, take it. Here.

Let me have a sip.

Oh, cool, where did you...

Yeah, that's right. Hi, hi, boobies, how's it going?

You know what they would say to you, Oscar? Do you know?

No?

They'd say, "Hey, you dork."

Yeah, yeah, but...

Yes, but you can't...

I can't control myself.

You look great.

Thanks.

Lemme see... There you go. So...

Have you seen the photos that were posted in the group for Isolde?

Yeah, my mom and I went to the memorial site and we, uh, lit some candles.

It was very emotional.

Yes, it's dreadful, so dreadful, really.

Hmm.

Wow.

Wow.

Welcome, everyone, to the school's annual spring party.

You all look absolutely fantastic.

Beautiful girls and boys.

But we've been struck by a profound tragedy.

It's touching to see how you all stand together.

Yes, I guess I don't need to remind you that tonight will be

a drug and alcohol-free event.

But, before the music and dancing begin,

I'd like us all to send a collective thought to Isolde.

How can we honor the memory of Isolde?

How can we show what she meant to each of us?

When I think about Isolde, I think of the gorgeous,

great, overwhelming nature

that was so dear to her. I think of Vestlandet.

Cool entrance, bro.

Is that Mom's shirt you're wearing?

Do you imagine she'll ever fit in this again?

Sorry, I think she's taken.

Yeah, that means he's taken, too.

Sorry.

Hey, hey, party, party.

Magnus! Good to see you.

Yo, I talked to my mom and she said

you'd been asking questions, lots of new questions.

Leave things to the police.

Just take it easy. Party a little.

Enjoy life a bit. Do like Mr. Laurits over here.

Hey, I think you should just keep on partying.

Me and Mr. Laurits, we're gonna move on.

Hey...

Are you only into dull, blonde chicks?

Never set limits to your imagination.

I have a vivid imagination.

You really are quite different from your brother.

Yeah, I hope so.

So tell me, what's he like?

Oh, he's, uh, fat, dyslexic and has no friends. What can I say?

What the fuck is up with the music?

Aren't you handsome men going to dance?

No.

What are you drinking?

Oh, just an orange drink.

Yeah, just soda.

But what does the principal prefer?

I think the principal prefers something harder.

Hey.

Remember me?

- Magne. You came. - Yeah.

- Uh, maybe you'd like to... - Hey, Magne.

New jacket?

Yeah.

Mm. Enjoying yourselves?

If you're not gonna ask her to dance then I will.

Stupid party!

- You shouldn't drink that water. - Huh?

You shouldn't drink that water.

Oh, just...

Are you Isolde or something? "Can't drink that..."

My bad. Sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Okay, I know that you were close, uh, friends.

Mom says that you feel so guilty about all of this and...

You don't have to, you know. You don't have to.

My mom is an experienced cop. She says these things happen.

Isolde chose to do this on her own.

Even though she was way experienced,

she chose to go flying in a thunderstorm, right?

So it's just bad luck that she hit the mountain, yeah?

Okay?

Hey, wait! What do you mean by, "hit the mountain"?

My mom says the wind in the thunderstorm were so strong

that she just flew into the mountain side and poof...

What mountain side? The story changes every time.

Are you guys ready to go to hell?

Okay.

Let's fucking turn it up, okay.

You're a good dancer.

Hey, party, party!

Let's get outta here and find our own party.

- No, I don't think so. - Uh, why?

You're kidding?

What have you taken?

Well, we're leaving. Come on! I have a better party.

I think you struck out there, dude.

Hi. Can we talk?

MOVING BOX

I've started sorting through her things.

The police changed their story again.

First they said it was lightning, now they say she hit the mountain side.

Well, but it is dangerous to paraglide.

They don't even care at all about this.

- Wait a minute, Magne... - Don't you get that?

No, but I can't...

It's not fair.

What do you think you're doing?

Her funeral is tomorrow.

And you just barge in here with all this...

It was an accident.

You are going to have to leave this to the professionals.

You're just a kid.

So please, just take it easy.

"Take it easy"?

What was that?

Maybe you should come back inside for a little while.

It seems like you copied all of my fucking playlists.

- You have this one? - Yeah.

Awesome. We have the same taste in music.

All right, I'll see you there, man.

Guys, we're going over to Anders, okay? His house?

They're gonna have to make up their minds. Jesus Christ.

- That's that. - Who's coming?

Uh, the usual suspects, except Gry and Saxa, and Hilde.

So sorry, man. They... They're off to bed.

That's lame, man. I'm sorry for you.

Yeah, bummer. But it also sucks for you, get it?

Shut the f...

So, what about your brother? Is he coming?

- Nah, that wasn't really his scene. - Yeah, yeah.

No?

He's still upset about what happened to Isolde.

Isn't everyone upset about what happened to Isolde?

Even those who didn't know her

or didn't like her are sorry about what happened to her.

- You been on Facebook? - No.

Have you checked out Facebook lately? It's become this big deal now.

Everybody's bringing flowers, everyone's lighting candles,

and they're all taking selfies while they're doing it.

Whoever mourns the most of all, that's the coolest person in town.

It's complete bullshit, guys! Just like totally fucked up.

Yeah.

There, look at that. It's like a bloody shrine, for fuck's sake.

"You will always be in our hearts.

Many loving thoughts from us all at the Edda Grill."

Hmm.

She never even went there anyway.

She thought their deep-fryer was polluting or some shit

You've been here already.

- Yeah. - Yeah?

Yeah, yeah, with David and Katrine. But it wasn't like...

Well, it wasn't like...

What the fuck? You... You said that you thought she was an idiot...

Yeah, but... Well, yeah...

The difference is, now she's a dead idiot.

Okay, man, can you just calm down a little?

Which candle is yours?

Uh...

Is it... Is it the big one there with the rose on it?

Put it out.

Hey, uh, are you serious? Put it out?

Yeah, do it.

No.

I can do it for you.

That's...

- That's funny. - What're you doing?

Hey, this'll go viral on Instagram. It's fuckin' hilarious...

Fuck you! Fucking hell! Fucking delete it!

Delete it!

Vidar Jutul: We didn't do anything illegal

Mercury found in cusk in Edda

Heat record in the western region

What if Isolde was right? That we are destroying the world?

You're definitely not wrong to see it that way.

After all, it's you who'll inherit all the shit that we've done.

I used to think like that myself.

What made you stop?

Well, unfortunately, Isi's mother died.

She was the rebel of the two of us. Isolde got it all from her.

That was her personal diary.

I don't think I have the right to look at that.

Are you sure?

I think she should be allowed to keep her secrets.

On Instagram.

It was taken down, but I managed to get a screenshot.

I'll take care of it.

So, why aren't you into Fjor?

Why I'm not into your brother?

Everyone is, kind of.

So, like, it's not very original, if you know what I mean.

Even Laurits is into him.

Okay.

And, um...

Yeah, I'm not really sure I want him to be my first one.

Your first?

Mm.

But, you have slept with someone? Didn't you say...

Yeah, but, uh, I mean, my first from school.

And Magne?

Are you two becoming friends?

No, we're just in the same group, that's all.

You were at his place.

Yeah. But that was only to work on the assignment.

Nothing else. What did you think?

He did manage to get quite close with Isolde.

Didn't he?

Yeah, I guess so.

Do you know what they did together?

He was right there when she died.

- They went to the mountains... - To do what?

I, uh, don't know.

It was only a joke. It's deleted.

They once worshipped us. Do you remember?

They made sacrifices in our honor.

Today things are different,

but we're still of critical importance to the people in this town.

We are in charge. We decide who lives and who dies.

And these so-called small, ordinary humans accept that it has a price.

But there are certain things we just don't do.

So that we can continue to be what we are.

Do you understand?

So when you, as my... My successor is caught pissing

on the memorial site for one of the town's children...

You're actually pissing on me as well.

Hmm.

Where have you been?

The toilet.

I hate Spanx.

Magne, have you seen Laurits?

We're so late. Where is he?

Laurits! Can I have a word with you?

The flower arrangements were so pretty...

Did... Did we forget to lock the door?

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

Giants - A common term for various supernatural creatures

from Norse mythology.

They were associated with a rash and often destructive nature.

'kay. Twenty seconds.

This isn't a good idea, Laurits.

Well, you didn't get your headphones stolen.

I know it's him.

- Are you sure? - Yeah, yeah.

I'll do the talking. You just stand there and look big and strong and threatening.

- Laurits... - Not now. Not now.

- Hi! We need to talk a bit. - What the fuck?

What were you doing on Saturday?

The whole town was at the funeral for the girl who died, but not you.

Because you were right over there breaking into our house, weren't you?

You took my new headphones.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Do you know what we're gonna do with you?

Come on, for fuck's sake, gimme a hand!

What the fuck! Ow! Are you stupid or what?

Were you there?

Yeah, I was there and I took them.

I knew it! And you're damn well gonna give them back!

I only went in because the door was open.

Someone else was there before me, it was a complete mess!

There was this, uh, this-this big car with a huge dog parked on the main road,

and... I don't know...

EPISODE 3 JUTULHEIM

It feels like everyhing has changed since I came to Edda.

OCCUPIED SINDRE SCHIRMER - SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGIST

It's like I've become someone else.

Well, that's completely normal.

That's what it's like to be a teenager, Magne.

It's absolutely natural.

Do you want to go into this more deeply?

You can talk about anything here, Magne. Absolutely confidentially.

There's nothing you can't tell me.

Hmm?

Do you want to try to say something more about it, maybe?

About your feelings about Isolde's death?

Anything at all?

I think something's weird.

Yeah? What strikes you as weird, Magne?

That the police have closed the case already.

Huh?

What do you mean?

I think it's strange that they don't care

about finding out how Isolde died.

Uh-huh.

They just say it's dangerous to paraglide.

But, uh, there's obviously more to it.

I guess, that's how things are.

What do you mean, Magne?

Someone broke into our house last week.

Okay?

The police hardly even bothered to come by.

Yeah. How does that make you feel?

That you have to do stuff yourself.

It's the only thing that works.

No one else dares to oppose those in power.

I do.

You do?

Yeah. And I think I know who broke into our house.

Uh-huh. Interesting. Just keep going.

All right. Thank you.

Okay great, Magne. Then I'll see you next week.

How's he doing?

Well, uh...

A therapist is bound to confidentiality...

A principal has the same.

Magne hasn't exactly done well in school lately.

If he also suffers from severe psychological problems

it's actually my duty as principal to decide if he should stay here.

Well, he's obviously been frustrated after Isolde's death.

Frustrated that the police aren't investigating enough and...

But there's nothing to investigate. It was a tragic accident.

I'm afraid that he has some sort of delusion

about taking the case into his own hands and...

Ah, the poor kid...

Yeah. I probably shouldn't be telling you this at all, but...

I understand, but I'm here to help.

Apparently they've had some sort of burglary. At home.

And Magne has developed some kind of idea that your husband is involved.

Vidar?

Yeah, it's pretty out there.

It's time for some country hits,

sponsored by Esso-tanken.

Remember, With fuel from Esso, you can go go go.

Hi.

I thought you said blue?

Yes, it's lavender.

Well, it sure isn't blue.

All right, boys, is there anything you want to tell me?

Ah Sweet. My headphones!

Nisse came by. That RV... neighbor.

Said that you had intimidated him and...

Sure, but that's only 'cause he, uh, broke in and stole these.

Don't you think the police should handle such things?

The police don't handle anything, Mother.

Magne, it's important that you control your temper.

What is going on with you?

Nothing, mother. I didn't know I was that strong.

OK. Come on, can you give us some credit here?

No one, no one was hurt

and we live in a total deadbeat area

where any old fucking neighbor just breaks in and steals stuff.

At least the case is solved.

It's not solved.

Nisse said the door was open.

That he just walked in. The place was a mess.

Sure, but Magne, Nisse's an addict, man, he'll say anything.

He said that he saw Vidar's car parked by the main road.

Vidar Jutul? That he had something to do with the break-in?

- No, no, Magne doesn't think that. - Yes.

Heh. That Vidar should...

He is one of the kindest and most generous people I know.

What's the deal between you and Vidar anyway?

Do you have a crush on him?

It's open

Hi, Erik!

Hi. Is this a bad time?

No, of course not, please come in.

- Are you renovating? - Yeah, well, I'm painting a bit.

It's lovely. That, uh... What is it? Lavender?

Yeah, exactly.

Hey, Magne. I wondered if, uh, maybe you wanted Isolde's computer?

I noticed the state yours is in... so, if you want it.

That's very kind of you, Erik.

Well, it might as well be used.

Thanks. Thank you.

Sure.

Erik, do you want a coffee?

Uh, sure.

"WATER TESTS FROM THE FJORD."

Those water tests that were taken in, uh, 2007.

We were cleared on those charges, right?

Exactly. You know what, I have to go. Bye.

I hear you've been out hunting for Isolde's phone.

You broke into the Seiers' house and searched the place

while the rest of us were at the funeral, am I right?

Well...

Magne Seier's been talking to the school psychologist,

who is luckily very fond of your wife.

Magne told him he was certain you were involved in the break-in.

And his suspicions are being supported, because you were seen...

by some shady drug addict who lives across the street from the Seiers.

He saw your car. In the shabbiest neighborhood.

What if he mentions that to the police?

The cops actually talk to addicts quite a bit.

And Magne Seier, who wants Isolde's death looked into further...

What if they both mention your name?

Do you want that much attention, Vidar?

Whoo-hoo!

Does he just take off and leave you with all the work?

- No, he just... - Can't read?

It's actually a group assignment. I just work on it.

Fjor, come on! Let's bounce.

If you need a break you could join me for a ride.

I have nothing to do now anyways, so...

Fjor, I saw your father beat you, after the party.

Honestly, that freaked me out.

Fjor, come on, we're leaving! You coming?

Okay.

My, uh, father is old-fashioned, Gry.

But, uh, maybe we could start over again?

My name is Fjor. I'm in 3A.

I've seen you around school

and I just think you're an amazing woman.

So I'd like to ask you to go out with me.

Maybe we could go for a ride in my car. If you want to, of course.

Actually, it would totally make my day, if you did.

See, you can be nice if you try.

So, what does the lady say?

Here we are. Allow me. Please.

What's up, suckers? Where are we going?

Saxa, what the hell...?!

Don't worry, Gry. I won't say anything to Magne.

Nice wheels.

And that's why you need to let us handle the police work.

That way you can focus on your school work and talk to the psychologist. Hi.

Tell me how Isolde died.

The wind pushed her into the mountain side and she broke her neck.

There was no wind that day.

Who do you think knows more about storms? The meteorologists or you?

- I do. - Mmm.

Okay, so which mountain did she hit then?

We don't know that, Magne. Look around. There are plenty of them.

Accidents happen all the time,

and there are many things we can't explain.

For example, your statement

that you left Isolde on the mountain just before four o'clock.

And only half an hour later you were here, in the center of town.

That usually takes at least 90 minutes.

So why haven't we investigated that you apparently move faster than anybody else?

Because it isn't important. Because it was an accident.

Have a good day, Magne.

Fucking awesome double-date, huh?

- We are not on a date. - We are not dating either, Laurits.

Who said I was talking about you anyway?

You're off your meds, man.

Well, Fjor, maybe it's time for some real music.

What language is it these guys are singing in?

- The old language. - Icelandic.

I must say, it looks like you're into all kinds of different guys.

I mean, like there's Magne whom you can define

as the hushed, heavy, but honest type.

And then there's Fjor, here,

who's more like handsome and grave and mysterious.

Kinda like you, Saxa.

And what is that old language?

Hey, wait! That was a bird.

Shit, stop, stop.

That was a bird, we have to see if it's alive.

Wait in the car.

Oh, poor little bird.

What's this about anyway? Why'd you bring Laurits?

He's always asking all these weird questions.

I'm trying to find out more about Magne. Like Papa asked us to, okay?

And this was the best idea I came up with.

- What's going on? You coming? - Hmm.

Hey, it's still moving. It's alive.

No, it isn't.

...you left Isolde on the mountain

just before four o'clock.

...and half an hour later you're in the town.

That trip usually takes 90 minutes.

And why haven't we investigated

that you apparently move much faster than everybody else?

I just ran - 100 meters in seven seconds.

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

It's two and a half seconds faster than the world record.

- Well, thanks for today. - Thanks, thanks.

I'm sure you'll get a grip on the math soon.

Okay. Wait a minute, Jenny. Just wait for me.

Good that you're trying to catch up on your history. Yeah. Okay.

Hi, uh, do you have a minute?

Sure. Sure, sure, sure.

Uhm, while I have you here...

Uh... we still have Isolde's clothes.

From the night she died. I don't know if you want... them back...

- Yes. - Okay.

Uhm, just so you know, they still show marks from the accident...

Uh...

Oh.

- Take some time and just think about it. - Hmm.

Okay.

Yes. Will do, thanks.

- Hi, Erik. - Hi, Mange.

Listen, at the hospital they still have Isolde's clothes.

I said they could destroy them,

but then I thought maybe you'd want to see them.

Yeah, definitely. I can pick them up...

You are not gonna believe this.

You have no idea just how lucky one can be.

Magne Seier is dead.

- What? - Did you...

No, no, no, I have nothing to do with it.

I happened to see him downtown. He crossed the street without looking.

Bam. A snowplow. Farewell, Magne Seier.

So why are we toasting the fact that Saxa's classmate is dead, huh?

Do you realize what this will mean at school?

We'll have to start grieving again. I'm not good at it. It's not my thing.

Why are you so happy, anyway? You didn't even know him.

One might say that this is all very convenient for Vidar.

After all Magne Seier had started investigating Isolde's death...

Are you fucking serious? You murdered Isolde?

Can we just say that it's dangerous to paraglide.

And you beat me up for pissing on a bunch of flowers?

That was actually very stupid.

But why? Did you go berserk?

- Did you bleed her? - No.

Was it an offering?

She discovered the tunnel up at the glacier.

Didn't we block off the area?

Yes, but the ice has receded faster than originally expected.

There are cracks leading into the tunnel.

And we could discuss how smart it was to hide

that crap in the ice in the first place.

Should that ever be discovered we will have one hell of a problem.

Well, it was done in 1967. That's how it was done.

Everyone did it. The glacier was absolutely huge.

You could have included us in the council.

You were still children.

Children weren't included in the council back then.

It would seem children still aren't included.

Listen, we have been saved by destiny.

Why don't we see this as some kind of sign?

No, it's not a sign. This is a warning.

We've come far too close to the humans. We've let down our guard.

We've become sloppy.

They're beginning to notice, as things go wrong...

And there you are, pissing on flowers...

Or having sex with students.

Or murdering a 17-year old girl.

Ran is right. We have to get our shit straight.

We can't let humans get too close to us.

No more best friends. No more girlfriends.

They're not like us, and we're not like them. Understood?

- Yes. - Yes.

- Is that understood? - Yeah.

You're telling me he was run over by a snowplow?

Yes. The central said the driver hit him at about 50 kilometers per hour,

and he ended up underneath the car.

It's unbelievable. There's nothing here.

- What nothing? - Nothing.

I don't understand. I have never seen anything like this.

The boy hasn't broken a single bone in his body.

Not a single fracture. Not a single bruise.

It shouldn't be possible to be so lucky.

So take it easy tonight.

You're likely to see some sort of reaction after suffering a shock like this.

Just call immediately if you feel discomfort or anything.

Just call, okay? All right.

Yeah, he was found at the warehouse by the harbor.

- Oh, dear! - It looks to me like he fell

and broke his neck.

I came to the hospital as fast as I could,

but I was told you were already discharged.

My boy. You're so lucky.

It's a miracle that you weren't injured. Someone's watching over you, dear.

Good thing we're built strong in our family.

Note:

Today I was run over by a snowplow.

I didn't even get a bruise.

Have I become invulnerable?

I don't know why I can do all this stuff suddenly.

It can't be a coincidence.

It's like all my senses are sharper.

My vision has improved, my sense of smell is better...

I've never been this strong before.

Good morning everyone! Today we'll be talking about the salmon.

And the salmon is, as you all know, an anadromous species. And this is...

Excuse me, I had to go to the bathroom. Sorry.

And thanks to its very clean rivers and deep fjords,

Norway offers ideal conditions for just such salmon.

Yes, Magne?

Hasn't there been a lot of diseased salmon caught in the fjord?

Oh, sure, but that happens. There'll always be mutations.

But isn't it kinda bad here in Edda?

There've been environmental organizations doing tests on the water...

Is it our factories you're hinting at?

- No. - No?

I'm just saying people have been testing the water.

Sounds like it's coming straight from Isolde.

Not that I'd want to talk badly about her,

but she said lots of things

without really knowing what she was talking about.

And many of those environmental organizations she so admired,

have their own agendas, which tend to be mainly political.

And by the way: We satisfy all regulations.

We're constantly being monitored by the environmental board,

and we have never ever failed the checks.

You are more than welcome to compare the numbers.

I have everything available...

Okay. Very well. Let's return to the salmon.

As I said, it's an anadromous species. So if we now, uh, turn to page 242...

'scuse me?

Oh, Magne.

I guess you noticed there are certain topics

that are a little uppsetting here in town.

- Actually, I wanna ask you something - Oh, go ahead.

Uhm, can old blood smell very strongly?

And can blood be tested, even after it's dried?

I actually don't know about the smell.

But I know that there's a test for dried blood,

and it's not especially difficult to perform.

But why are you asking?

Could you help me with it?

I think so.

Hey...

why did you ask Solveig that thing about, 'bout the blood?

This is Isolde's jacket. She wore it when she died.

Magne...

Try smelling it.

And here, on the other side.

They're two different smells.

- I don't smell anything. - You don't?

No. Are you sure this isn't just in your head, Magne?

You don't think it's weird that there's blood on the neck?

Does anyone know?

No.

But Magne, why are you so fixated on this?

She was my only friend.

I'm also your friend.

Today's last song is sponsored by Spar Edda.

Remember that you can buy three filets of salmon for only 60 kroner.

Here. You can't always give them food.

- No, you're right, but. - They have to pay for it.

- Yes. I understand. Yes, yes. Thanks - This is a business you know? Last time.

- How about some of these? - Yeah, here.

- There. Enjoy. - No, but are you sure?

- We can pay for this... - No, it's al lright. It's nothing...

Yo. Ooh! I talked to Rasmus and Christian yesterday.

There's crazy rumors spreading about the party:

They claim that they went up to the principal's office,

and that they had sex with your mom there.

- Like a threesome and they... - Uh, come on!

You really think our mother, the principal of the school,

would sleep with a student?

First, it's illegal, second, yuck!

Don't just believe everything you hear.

But, uh, yeah, speaking of the party,

you two didn't dance as closely as we expected.

That's cause I'm the better dancer.

Or maybe there was someone else you wanted to dance with, Gry?

Like a boyfriend...?

I don't have a boyfriend, so that would be tricky.

Yeah, but eh... like not at the moment or...

No, I mean, you've had a boyfriend before, right?

Mmm. Yeah.

How many have you had, exactly? Boyfriends, I mean.

This is interesting. I'd like to know that too.

Yeah. No, I don't feel like talking about this now, so let's just...

So, what are you saying? Like two or three...?

Yeah, something like that.

That you've slept with?

Yes, Hilde. It's something like that. So can we please change the subject now?!

Why are you lying?

Is it like... Well, I mean, I know you're a virgin.

Can't you just say it? Can't you? It's no big deal, is it?

No.

Was this some kinda secret? I didn't know it was a secret.

No, I don't wanna get into this shit.

You can enjoy your fries on your own.

It's been so fucking nice. See you tomorrow.

Saxa, what the hell happened?

I thought you two were best friends.

...and maybe a little...yep

- Gry! Excuse me. - Gry!

Not now, mom!

I thought you quit drinking?

They said no... the insurance company.

I was turned down.

They say there's no connection

between what's wrong with my lungs and my work at the factory.

They won't cover anything.

But that's totally insane.

How is this possible?

The boy got run over by a fucking snowplow.

No human survives that.

Who the hell is that boy?

That's what we're about to find out... tonight.

Sounds good. Okay. Seven o'clock tonight. Great. See you.

So, you found a helper for your lavender hell?

You will love it when it's done, sweetie.

By the way, I've bought you a proper dinner for tonight.

We're having spring rolls.

Ah, that sounds scrumptious. But, uh, sadly we'll have to pass.

We're invited over to dinner at the Jutul's.

Really? That's lovely. They invited you?

I don't know, I'm becoming friends with them.

Exciting. What a great chance for you to get to know the Jutuls, Magne.

I would have loved to go.

They live in the nicest mansion in all of Edda.

Hey! So good to see you. Welcome to Jutulheim.

- Yes, welcome, please. - Thanks.

Holy shit, is that...?

Munch? Yes. He painted it for my great grandfather.

Are we the only ones coming?

Yes. I thought we should get to know each other a little.

And of course welcome you to our little community.

Welcome.

Here we have, uh, scallops, sea urchins, lobster, oysters.

The sea urchins are hand-picked from the North Sea.

Nothing but the very best. Please, help yourselves.

Pass the lemon?

Unbelievable that you weren't injured.

I saw that traffic accident you were in. It was insane.

I was certain you died.

Hmm.

It's a good thing we're built strong in our family.

So what happened to you?

On, uh, the little one.

Our own local lamb.

Have some more.

I like men with an appetite.

And now, the main course.

Red meat.

Ah!

I felt that.

No, you can't just keep on drinking that shit.

I say we should have something proper!

We won't tell your mother.

What's this?

This here, Magne, is a drink from ancient times.

The vikings drank this. Giants, gods, and heroes drank this.

And let's be honest, not everyone can handle it.

It's a drink from before the world was decimated.

This, this is mead.

Cheers.

Holy shit.

This is the best thing I've ever tasted. Do you have more?

Hello?

Hey!

Hi, Gry! Hi, Aren't you at the dinner?

The dinner?

At Fjor and Saxa's. I thought everyone was there.

Oh.

I just wanted to talk to Magne, but... You just have a good night.

Same to you

- Bye-bye. - Bye-bye!

Magne, join us!

That guy doesn't dance. And I think he's had a bit too much to drink.

Magne, join us!

...is a drink from the ancient times.

- It's mead. It's a drink. - Magne, join us! Join us!

Gods.

You strong lad.

A bit too much mead?

Yeah.

You split the target. No one has ever done that.

I've learned things about myself.

I am super strong.

- Are you? - Hmm.

How strong are you?

Hmm.

- Are you sure? - I will crush you. Come on.

Come on!

And I don't give a shit that you're my headmaster, not now.

- Who are you? - Who are you?

What's happening to me? I have to get out of here.

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

Chaos Monsters

Common name for a group of beasts in Norse mythology,

that teamed up with the giants and fought against the gods.

The most known are the Midgard serpent, the Fenrir wolf and the Hellhound.

Note:

I'm not sure what happened yesterday. They gave me something.

What was in that mead?

I lost control.

What was it I saw in that mirror?

Vidar, no.

Yes. War council.

Shouldn't there be a war first?

We agree that there hasn't been one like him for a thousand years.

You don't even know what he is yet.

No, but we all know he can do things humans can't do.

Therefore he's from the Old World.

You think he's one of them?

That's impossible. They all died back then.

It was a huge battlefield, total chaos.

Since the great battle there hasn't been anyone other than us.

No, but now they're back. And that calls for action.

All eyes are on us.

We must know who and what he is, before we do anything.

The axe waits for you to choose a side, Fjor.

Just like back then.

What if he's like us?

Then he'd be the closest ally we've ever had.

I suggest we figure that out, before we go to war.

He's just a boy, Vidar.

EPISODE 4 GINNUNGAGAP

So tell me, how was it? How do they live?

- Nice. Fancy. - Ah.

Yeah, they're Norway's sixth richest family,

or fifth I think, they said it on TV once.

We're talking about the dinner yesterday.

Were there many guests or just you?

Just us.

So...?

Just needed some air.

What did they wear?

Was it very formal or a bit more on the casual side?

Actually, she's never really very casual...

But did you have a good time?

Yeah.

She's gonna find out about it anyway.

I got a little drunk yesterday, Mom.

Hmm?

I got a little drunk.

Were you drinking?

Yeah, they served, uh, wine and booze and champagne and...

- Mead. - Mead? Are you kidding me?

Yeah, but, Mom, don't forget that they're so much more international.

Just 'cause they live in a little dump in Norway, doesn`t mean that they...

And so what if Magne had a bit too much?

Mead. Norse mythology.

EDDA SECONDARY SCHOOL

Turid? Do we have an appointment?

Yes. I think it's time for one right now.

I just wanted to know if it's true that you got Magne drunk last night?

No, he managed that without our help.

But you actually did serve alcohol at the dinner, right?

A glass of good wine with the meal, yes, we did serve that.

And champagne and tequila?

- No, that's... - And mead!

You know it's strictly against the law, right, to serve alcohol to minors?

Yeah, you could also see it as a good thing

to introduce it to our youth under safe conditions.

Mm-hmm. Or we could just settle on you taking care of Magne' education,

while I take care of raising him. That's worked out great so far.

Has it?

I seem to recall that some weeks ago you sat in that chair

and told me how badly it's gone so far.

Let's get one thing clear.

Magne is my son and I know him very well.

He's kind, and he's got a good heart.

And you should not underestimate him.

You did something to me, when we arrived here.

It's always been within you. I just opened your eyes.

But what's going on?

I saw myself in the mirror yesterday.

I didn't look like myself.

- I looked like... - Thor.

Thor? But I'm not Thor!

Magne, humans have always been afraid of the dark,

of the violent forces of nature,

and of, of injustice.

What you saw gives you an opportunity, a chance to act.

What happens next is something you decide through your own actions.

The giants are still here.

They are destroying the world while the humans stand by and watch.

And no one has had the courage to take up the fight against them, yet.

Gry! What's going on? I've sent you loads of texts and...

Aren't you getting them or what?

Sure I am, but I thought you might just move on to the next one in line.

Hey!

You just sat there, while they were giving me shit.

Well, everybody, it's soon time for our traditional mountain trip

for the upperclassmen.

Three days in the wild with full gear.

We're going to this mountain, which is called Ginnungagap.

Can somebody tell me what Ginnungagap means? Aicha.

In the creation myth of the Vikings

Ginnungagap is the place where cold and warm meet,

- and the world was created. - Yes!

Very good, Aicha. Who was it, who then populated this earth?

A mix of gods and giants.

That's correct, Laurits,

and if you'd raised your hand that would have been ten points.

So, gods and giants.

We have read the story of Thor,

how he was tested at the giants' house

when they made him drink mead.

But who were the giants?

Hilde.

Weren't they sort of like trolls? Like the bad guys of the story.

No, that's like a totally lopsided depiction.

For ages the giants were regarded as gods.

People worshipped them and sacrificed everything they had to them.

Even animals that were alive.

Until eventually they were pushed aside by the so-called "gods".

Yes, very good, Saxa.

But was there anything,

or should we say anyone, whom these giants were afraid of?

Those were the hottest hits this afternoon.

Sponsored by Jutul Industries.

- Hi. - Hi!

Let's see. I'd like three double cheese burgers,

one with an extra patty with extra cheese.

Lots and lots of bacon. And half a grilled chicken.

And three large fries and three cokes, please.

- So just the usual? - Hmm.

Thanks.

- Hi. - Hi! How are you doing?

Well... I manage, I guess.

I heard you're all going hiking...?

Yes, up to the...

How's that going to be for you?

Well, it's going to be, uh...

Isolde and I went up there a lot when she was little,

so there are lots of memories.

All the secret places we had...

So it'll probably be pretty awful.

Wanna go to my place and work?

Sure.

Magne!

I've tested the blood sample you gave me.

And you were completely right. There were two different types of blood.

Hmm.

The blood on the front was Isolde's.

And that on the hood?

An animal's. Can you help me read the rest?

Good morning!

So, listen up, uh, everybody.

Starting today, we'll have a new student joining us in our class.

This pretty young lady here, who's, uh...

Iman.

Yes. We have an opening, because, uh...

Uh, maybe you know Aicha?

Why would I know Aicha?

So anyway, uh, we have a vacant seat there,

so please take a seat over there, okay?

- New, uh, new girl. - Iman.

Uh, yes. Im-Iman.

Today we'll go through the main arguments of your assignments

We'll go by groups.

Um, Gry and Magne, you're up first.

Yes.

Even though Norway has strong democratic traditions and institutions,

uh, it's still the large enterprises and capital interests

that have the biggest impact on our society.

More than we might notice at first.

Uh, for instance, one community could be entirely dependent

on a single enterprise due to all of the jobs it has created and...

Seriously? Are we going to blame the rich again?

I'm sorry... You know we have big environmental problems here. Right?

And still nothing happens. Nobody does anything.

Even though there are hazardous discharges

we see the mayor shake hands with your father on Edda's welcome-brochure.

Can I? Please?

What you're saying is correct, but it's only correct up to a point.

Because it's progress we are concerned about.

And progress has always been perilous.

Once we were freezing, so we made fires, right?

Sure, sometimes our houses burned down, and sometimes even whole villages.

But we would never revert to the life we had without fire.

Same thing goes for cars.

Hundreds of people die in traffic every year. Every single year!

So we make safer and safer cars. We don't go back to horses and carriages.

Do you even know that people are sick?

There are unemployed defeated people walking our streets,

but you don't care, even though it's because of you.

Yeah, of course I know.

They have contributed what they could to progress.

Someone has to lead the way.

What do you mean, "contributed to progress"?

My dad lies at home seriously ill because of it.

You couldn't care less and we don't get a single Crown in compensation!

So this is actually about your father?

Uh, I think maybe we should call on another group now.

Uh, Aicha, would you like to...?

- Yes. - Great.

Hi, Magne. You hungry...?

I thought Gry was your friend.

Wouldn't you defend your family?

What`s up? Ready to go hiking?

I`m psyched to shit in a hole in the ground

and swim in a frozen lake.

It isn't that cold.

Our father has business contacts

who get us the best mountain gear for free.

You should come by some day,

we'll fit you out, so you survive up there.

- Everything's new? - Yup.

Just drop by after school and we'll set you up.

You bet, we'll be there.

Would you mind going to the cafeteria and buying me a mineral water, please?

Yeah, okay. But then you're buying one for me too, rich bitch.

We'll try again tonight.

Oh. Aren't you a little teddy bear? Yes.

Isn't he cute? He adores sweets.

Oh, do you love sweets? How old is he?

Eh, I really couldn't say. We've had him for a very long time.

This is all the latest and the best.

Damn! And you're just giving it to us?

Yeah, yeah.

So where's Magne?

He, uh, said he didn't need anything. Said he had more important things to do.

This is nice.

I don't know what you want me to say, Magne.

You said you had some, some new evidence but I...

This is Isolde's blood.

And this, isn't human, it's animal blood.

It's got a totally different smell.

There was no blood on her jacket when we went up the mountain.

Isolde could have taken the jacket off and put it on the ground.

Don't you think it's weird there's blood on it?

No.

But shouldn't we do something?

Shouldn't we ask the police about the blood?

Just forget about the jacket.

Please, Magne.

So, how did it go?

He didn't show up.

Didn't I tell you so?

He asks a lot of questions.

He's still investigating Isolde's death.

I should have killed him long ago, not taken any chances.

We live in a small town, full of curious humans.

And now two of them are dead.

Yes, but we wouldn't kill him here!

You are going on a mountain hike, and I shall come along.

I will talk to him,

and if it proves necessary, then we do it there.

Numerous accidents occur in the mountains.

You won't do anything until we've voted.

You sound like a fucking politician.

I've adapted to the times. You'd better do so, too.

Says she who bathes in milk.

Come on, listen to us. This is such a waste.

Everyone has to be so fucking equal nowadays.

Soon I'll have to start asking my own wife for permission

when I want to take her.

That would suit you well.

When I have a little more money I'll get you some new clothes.

That's fine. I found this in the attic.

Where did you go and steal all that from?

It was a gift from the Jutuls. They have too much of everything.

And can you just accept that?

Do we have to be poor and proud as well?

Hmm, you should better have come too, I see.

I'm not taking anything from those guys.

- I'll see you over there. - See ya.

Nice to see that old rucksack again.

It belonged to your father.

Hmm.

I also found his old sleeping bag. And his knife was up there, too.

Take care of yourself, okay?

Remember what we agreed on.

- No accidents. - I know.

- Okay, see ya. - Have fun.

Oh, my God. Hey, you walk super-fast, you know that?

- You think? - Yes.

I'm not really in that bad of shape but...

The others are just slow.

Is that them down there?

Yes, I can see Hilde, Dagny, Saxa and Ida.

You can see that? I only see dots.

I see better now without my glasses.

Okay. Then what's that flying up there?

A rough-legged hawk.

Mmm.

- With something in its eye. - Yeah.

Hmm.

- A dead reindeer. - Hmm?

- Where? - Down there. Wanna look?

What, down again? No, I can't do that now that we're up here.

- Come on. - No. No, I'm just gonna go find the camp.

Are you sure?

Yes. I'm sure I can find it from here. And if I get lost I know you'll find me.

Okay, Mr. Laurits.

Mister, mister, come on.

I mean, it all sounds really deep but...

- Okay. - Who's it gonna be?

You're supposed to pick someone.

You have to pick Jenny. Yes, you do!

Pick Iman for me, then us two...

No, I don't want to...

Wanna play spin-the-bottle with us?

Aren't you a bit too old for that?

Not a bit! We're just dying to find out who it is you're thinking about.

I think you know. I'm gonna take a walk by myself.

Have fun!

Okay...

Take Jenny, come on, take Jenny. She hasn't been picked yet...

And then you can go... Yes, do it. Come on. Argh, you're no fun.

Okay, now it's Ola's turn... I don't won't to.

I don't want to.

Yeah, but that's not how it works.

- No, not like that. - Magne! I pick you.

Huh?

We're gonna ask you a question. And you have to answer honestly.

Yeah.

And I would like to know, uh, the truth about your feelings for Gry.

She's the prettiest and nicest person I know.

Aw!

Are you in love with her?

Huh?

You shouldn't just say things like that in front of everyone.

Why shouldn't I?

Because you make yourself vulnerable

and they can, they can use it against you later.

- But it's true. - Magne...

I really am sorry, if I've led you to believe that...

You're someone who maybe interprets things too literally.

No, forget that. It's my fault,

I'm sorry,

I care for you, I like you a lot, but not like that.

And I think I'm falling in love with Fjor.

Just so you know.

Hi, Magne.

- What are you doing here? - Leaving already?

Who knows?

Where's Erik?

I think he needed to be alone.

He hasn't been up here since it happened.

But hey, could you help me with the food?

Put down your backpack and we'll have a little chat.

Come on, now!

Wild game smells lovely, doesn't it?

You want to try?

Cut it into small pieces.

What are you doing here?

Just wanted to see you.

You come all this way just to see me?

Yeah.

Maybe I'd rather be alone?

So would you mind leaving?

You know I like you a lot, right?

I really do.

But you can have anyone, I don't get why you'd choose me.

Because you're you.

You're quite stubborn. And you're brave.

Wanna do something fun?

Hmm?

Come on.

Come on!

What are we doing?

Going paragliding.

From the top of Ginnungagap.

It's a tandem chute, so I'll steer? I'll keep you safe

Trust me.

The tastiest meat is from the thighs.

But to be quite honest with you,

I think the heart is the best.

I found a dead reindeer on the way up. Its heart had been ripped out.

You've done this before. You're good with a knife.

Do you remember the Old Land?

The battle? The last, great battle.

Laurits?

- Mmm-hmm. - Have you seen Gry?

She's with Fjor.

Fjor? What's he doing here?

I don't know.

He came and picked her up and, uh, they went that way.

They wanted to go paragliding.

I think she's made her choice!

Okay.

- What are you doing? - Magne's backpack.

I was right. He is a threat.

He found the reindeer. And fuck knows what else.

It's him. The sledgehammer in the car. He's been after us all along.

Trym.

Your water sample...

So it was here...

You hid it, at our spot.

God damn, you're curious. Anything else you wanna know?

Why do you have that log in the kitchen

with all those knives in it, like, psh psh?

That definitely wasn't my idea. And you know what the worst thing is?

Not that it's creepy, but the tips of the knives are always dirty,

no matter how often you clean 'em.

That's a very good point. I never thought of that.

That's a really lousy idea to do that...

Yeah, very annoying, and whenever you...

Yeah. I hate it, it wasn't my idea.

Dad wanted to be creative and that's what turned out.

Yeah, but it still looks cool.

You think? Thanks. I'll let him know.

Ah.

I shouldn't have had that last glass.

What time is it?

Hey?

I know you don't like me as much as I like you.

But I'm gonna wait for you no matter how long it takes.

You want me to drive you back?

You can't ever go in here.

- Understood? - Hmm.

It's very, very important that you get that.

Good Lord! What happened?

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

Seeress - A recurring figure in numerous Norse myths.

Possessed magic and clairvoyance.

One believed the seeress could affect the forces that controlled the world.

What do you mean? Did you kill their dog?

I had no choice, it wasn't a dog anymore.

There's nothing here either. It's just... What happened?

It was a monster, Mother!

What have you taken?

What? What are you talking about?

Have you smoked? Taken pills? Someone give you something? The Jutuls?

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking that you think that what you saw was real.

It attacked me and tried to kill me, Mother!

You have no wounds!

What do I know? I had a lot of them but I heal quickly!

Magne, can't you just tell me what happened?

Magne, can't you please just tell me? Just say what happened! Can't you just...

I don't know what happened, Mother!

I don't understand it either.

EPISODE 5 ATOMIC NUMBER 48

And yellow eyes?

Yes. And its teeth grew longer, too.

Hm. Yngvild, I think we should take urine

and blood samples to make sure he's not under the influence of narcotics.

There's something else I want to say.

I think Vidar was involved in Isolde's death.

Magne. Do you have anything personal against the Jutuls?

No, he does not, he's good friends with the children,

and his brother Laurits is too.

And I work for Vidar Jutul, so...

A month ago Vidar Jutul's car was vandalized with this sledgehammer,

which is yours.

Is this correct?

I wasn't trying to hit his car.

This has nothing to do with the dog or me defending myself.

It wasn't just self-defense.

I'd call it a ritual killing.

You should know that we take this very seriously.

And there will be consequences.

I can't rule out that the authorities will recommend juvenile detention.

Do you understand what you've done?

Magne.

Uh. Yeah.

I wasn't myself.

Note:

Nobody believes me.

Not even my own family.

But I can't blame them, really.

With everything that's happening, I'm fighting monsters.

I've become a god.

And giants exist.

Supernatural beings that control the town.

No wonder people think I'm crazy. It's completely fucked up.

I want everybody who dreams of being special to know that...

in reality, it's a nightmare.

There's nothing cool about being special.

And I don't even know what to do with these powers.

They just fuck up my life and cause all sorts of problems and they...

Isolde was right.

Exploit the system.

The Jutuls don't care about humans, or the world.

They just destroy everything.

I have to expose them.

Find strong evidence...

so they can't continue.

Are you going running with the women's group?

Yes. We're working out really hard.

Bjørg and Yngvild are picking me up shortly.

Are you planning to win?

No, no. The important thing for them is to participate.

Where are you going?

He must die.

Vidar, this is...

After 3000 years you still think hitting someone makes you a man.

You aren't doing anything until I come back.

Okay?

Stop him.

- Hi! - Hi, are you ready?

We sure are. Come on, let's go.

Fucking nuts.

But he's right.

Trym's blood will be avenged by Magne's blood.

This it written in the old laws, and they apply to him too.

- Yeah, but... - He is a god.

That changes everything.

Plague, wars, climate change, what has that meant for us?

Nothing. But him...

he can kill us. Understand?

The whole town thinks he killed our dog.

Who do you think they'll blame, if he's cut down with an axe?

- I don't give a shit. - I think you do.

You own one of Norway's biggest companies. You're a respected person.

And also a giant. Just like you.

We belong to an ancient, immortal warrior family.

We were worshipped.

The humans sacrificed to us.

We were the first gods.

And now you're driving a fucking Volvo.

You love to just sit on the couch

and watch American TV shows, while you're eating candy.

You want to give up all that and have to live a life on the run?

That's nostalgia.

We don't live like that anymore.

So? Are we killing him or what?

No.

There'll be no violence this time.

We hold all the cards.

Teachers, psychologists, juvenile detention is ten times worse.

Out!

Everything suggests you will be sentenced

if we send this to the authorities.

So I hope you understand what a big deal it is that we are putting

the whole matter on hold.

Yes. Even though what you've done is terrible, Magne,

I don't want to be a principal who stops a young person

from completing his education.

Right. As long as we can be sure that you stick to all our agreements.

Yes, mmm-mmm.

Well, you and I will see each other quite a lot from now on, Magne.

And it's important that we limit Magne's access to social media.

- At home too, Turid. - Yes.

And I really want to hold on to your smartphone.

At least for a little while.

And you will get this one. You can send texts and SMS and...

- Hm. Magne. Magne, give... - Yes, so, Magne,

- it's time to say goodbye... - Give it to him.

to YouTube and Facebook and Twitter

and Snapchat and WhatsApp and Shazam and all that. Yes.

Yes, we'll be following up on this.

- Yes. - Yes.

And I also think it's important that you keep a close eye on him at home.

Mmm. Mmm.

Gry! I have your earring. When can we meet?

What are you doing?

How long's Vidar gonna stay in his office?

Are you looking for this?

Are you totally fucking insane?

You fucked her here after we were told not to have contact with humans.

- Calm down! - No!

I had to blow her off as one of my best friends!

Do you think I liked that?

You've fucking never had any feelings for anyone!

Neither have you, asshole.

You were just so anxious to fuck her that you didn't give a shit about anything.

And then you do her here, of all places!

- She was in the office. - She didn't see anything!

You can't go in there without seeing something.

Do you realize what will happen if I tell Vidar? Hmm?

You won't do that.

What is happening to you?

I said what's happening to you?

Nothing.

I wanted to fuck her and that's what I did. Okay?

EDDA SECONDARY SCHOOL

In 2018, the environmental organization GreenWatch

registered rising levels of cadmium in the fjord.

Hi.

Hi.

- You okay? - Mmm.

Besides that people think I'm psycho, yeah.

I don't know what happened but...

but I think you had a reason to do what you did.

But you trust your new boyfriend more than me.

He is not my boyfriend.

I mean... Well, I... I was going to talk to you about it, but I knew...

We're handing in the assignment on Friday, right?

Magne, I really do want to talk to you about it.

I think we can look at it later.

Okay.

See you.

- Hi, Magne. - Hi.

Everybody's just talking about what happened to that dog,

but this is completely out of proportion.

I found her phone up by the glacier.

I tried charging it, but it's dead.

And I also found this next to it.

A sample from the ice?

I would think so.

The last few weeks she constantly talked

about getting a water sample from up there.

Can I have it?

Gry. I found some of Isolde's old emails

that she sent to environmental organizations.

This one, for example.

They write that many of her water samples

show very high contamination levels from the glacier.

And her last samples contain something called ko... Kodym?

- Cadmium or something, it says here. - Cadmium.

Yeah, she thought there would be high levels of that. Look at this.

Erik found one of... Isolde's last water samples at the glacier.

What if that contains cadmium?

Maybe we should analyze it?

Well, we're not writing an environmental report,

we're analyzing what it's like to live in Edda.

Yeah, but I know Isolde's right about this.

These people really don't care if the world's coming to an end.

You and your dad know that better than anyone.

I get it if you don't want to write bad stuff about his family.

Okay, Saxa. It's your turn.

- You can do it! I believe in you! - Go! Yeah!

Hold it right this time.

In 2018, the environmental organization GreenWatch

registered rising levels of cadmium in the fjord.

Nevertheless, the Edda Green Award

was awarded to Jutul Industries the following year.

Are you writing about Jutul?

Try holding it the correct way. Look here, here.

You won't be very popular if you sit next to me.

But maybe you will be popular by sitting next to me.

Stretch further. Look here. Not up there. Saxa! Down!

She's faking it.

Look here. Here. Down here. And right foot forward and throw. Come on.

Go for it!

Time's up for today. Hilde and Saxa, it's your turn to clean up, right?

- Yes? - Yes.

This place is fucked up. Just so you know.

Then maybe we could change that.

What was your name again?

Saxa.

Oh.

Why aren't you helping her?

'Cause I can.

'Cause you feel like you're better than her, right?

Obviously.

You feel like you're better than everybody else.

Why do you pretend that you don't know how to throw?

So I don't frighten the little humans.

You know what happens when you scare them, don't you, Magne?

Don't worry about it, I'll get that.

Look how cute and loyal they are.

But it isn't fair!

No.

But the world isn't fair.

The wolves eat the lambs.

Not if someone protects them.

You couldn't even protect your girlfriend.

I know who you are.

And you can't count on anyone coming to help you.

Not your mother, or your brother, or your little pretend-girlfriend, Gry.

We're not together. She's with Fjor.

You were right. I do know how to throw.

- Teacher? - Yes?

- Have you heard of cadmium? - Cadmium,

it's an element. Heavy metal, atomic number 48.

- Is it dangerous? - It's very poisonous.

This is a water sample from the glacier.

And, uh, I need to know what it contains.

Do you know how to check for that?

Yes, I do.

I want to help you, Magne. This will stay between us.

The warmest April in 20 years, people!

Are you ready for swimming season?

And forget about how the fjord is contaminated.

When I was a kid, they said you should eat

at least one kilo of crap every year to become a proper man.

Gry? Hi, look who's here.

- Hello. - Hi.

Hello, there.

Hi.

Well, should I put on a pot of coffee?

Jan, dear, I think maybe, um, come with me.

Sure thing.

Yes.

I think this is yours.

It is. Thanks.

Welcome.

What are you thinking?

That we're a couple now?

Uh, yeah.

Or, uh...

Not necessarily completely officially, but...

Well, it's, it's really kinda complicated. My father, he...

It's hard to explain, okay?

You could try to talk to me about it, if you want.

We all have our secrets.

Excuse me, I just need to get into the cabinet.

My dad...

Are you afraid he'll die?

Uh... No.

He's just ill.

Can't work anymore.

Huh? Doesn't he get compensation?

Mmm, uh, disability, pension or something?

We actually just got a no from our insurance.

They say that it could be caused by smoking,

that there's no connection between the illness

and the chemicals at Jutul... At... at his workplace.

That's...

It must be hard for you.

Yeah.

Everything is so difficult, just so...

This is difficult.

Uh, hi.

- Hi! - Hi!

Two, mayo.

Thank you.

This is almost a bit embarrassing,

it looks like we eat here all the time, but we don't.

Oh, okay, well, I eat here all the time so...

I'm actually quite good at cooking, or at least I used to be.

Of course, you do a few prepared meals when you have kids and...

Hey, you should come over for dinner one day.

Or, sorry, maybe that wouldn't work for you nowadays.

- I'd love to come for dinner. - Oh, really? Then...

Yes.

Do you like shrimp cocktails?

Roll up with the bass drum

Roll up with the bass drum

Oh!

- Can I try? - Yeah, sure, you can.

Go ahead.

- All right. - Have you done it before?

If not, you'll throw it right through the window.

Oscar, Oscar, Oscar!

Oscar, Oscar, Oscar!

There.

What the hell are you doing?

You're leaving.

Now!

Don't worry, I'll text you when she's gone. You try talking to her.

All right.

Nope.

Out!

Okay!

Can you please relax?

Why did you lie to me?

Hmm?

"I just wanted to fuck her, that's all I wanted."

You like her and you're actually seeing her.

And that's why we couldn't kill Magne. Huh?

Are you becoming a little human being?

Huh?

Tell me the truth.

The truth!

I'm in love with her.

You're breaking up with her.

Or else you know what will happen. To both of you.

Magne, what is this?

It's our social studies assignment.

"...does the city look the other way regarding the pollution

from Jutul Industries because

they are the biggest employer and taxpayer in the area?"

That's what they do.

If you keep reading there are a lot of examples.

Magne, it's been proven that the pollution in the fjord doesn't come from Jutul,

and regardless, I...

don't care about what they're doing, but I...

I can't afford to worry about the environment,

I worry about you, and about keeping my job, and that we can stay here.

Do you realize what a big deal it is that you're allowed to stay in school

- after what happened? - That's different, Mom.

If you turn this in, then I will lose my job and you...

- you will go to prison. - Mom, this isn't fair.

The Jutuls are destroying the environment without any consequences.

They think they are untouchable, and I have to do something.

I will turn this in no matter what you say.

Then I have no choice.

You look a bit pale, that's unusual.

How many times do you think he's heard that before?

Hi. Could I have a few words with you?

I have math.

The others have math. You and I are gonna have a talk.

Well, uh...

The thing is that Turid called me last night and told me that you, Magne,

are writing a school paper that's more or less

a direct attack on the Jutul's company.

Regarding the assignment, there's not much for me to say.

After all this is a free country,

you're allowed to write whatever you want.

What's less fortunate is that you are approaching teachers

asking them to do you favors, and keeping it from me.

Magne has asked the biology teacher for tests of, first, a blood sample,

and, now, this water sample which he claims contains dangerous chemicals.

You're good boy, Magne, but you have got yourself tangled up

in some kind of fantasy world.

Going around thinking you're some kind of mix between

an action hero and a detective. Hmm?

I've spoken to Erik and he told me that you took over Isolde's laptop,

which contains lots of information about Jutul Industries.

Lots of fake news.

I don't think you're capable of separating fact from fiction.

So now I think you should return the laptop to Erik,

and you will get another from the school to use...

Magne, get out your laptop and give it to Erik.

Magne.

Hi.

Um...

the thing is, I...

Uh. You would actually really like to kiss me, but think we're not quite there yet.

And I really want to kiss you too, I do, but I have a shitload of things to do.

Right?

Can we talk tonight?

Mmm-hmm.

Hey, there, have you finished your part of the conclusion?

Then we can just put it in and see if it fits.

I had a meeting with the principal.

We have to redo the paper.

Uh, what?

I can't write anything critical now, they're watching me.

Because of the dog.

So you're just gonna fall in line?

What do you think I should do?

You have to hand it in yourself.

I can't do that, they'll flunk you!

Not my first time.

It's probably better for you and Fjor as well.

Hi, Magne.

Ran forced me to give her the water samples.

But you were absolutely right.

There's both cadmium, lead and mercury in the water.

It doesn't matter anymore.

I can't prove anything.

No, maybe not, but you are right, Magne.

There's something sick in this town.

Hmm.

Do you really have time to stand and stare?

I didn't pick you to sit around with your hands in your lap, you know.

Why'd you choose me?

What do you think I can do?

Everything.

I can't do anything.

Find someone else.

No, I don't want you to play that kind of game in front of Magne.

Violence isn't good for him.

Come on, give me a break! What the fuck do you want me to play?

You've cut off the internet. Candy Crush or Tetris?

Hi, darling.

Want to know where I've been?

So you can call the police or the principal.

And tell them everything about me.

- Or maybe your new best friend Sindre. - Magne.

You're talking to him now?

Isn't he the one coming over?

It's Erik who's coming for dinner. You know that.

Somebody's got a new mascara.

I'm not having any.

What are you talking about?

He stabbed me in the back.

- Magne, nobody's stabbed you in the back. - Yes.

Just like you.

Well, if Magne doesn't want any maybe we should invite the principal too.

NORSE MYTHOLOGY

Magne?

It's Erik.

Could we please talk?

Go away.

Magne, remember how I told you that I found Isolde's phone?

I let it dry out and earlier today it suddenly turned on.

Hi.

Hey.

Well, it's locked obviously,

and I don't know the lock code.

Do you?

No.

Isn't there a master code? So you can reset it?

No, I don't know.

I'm not so good with things like that.

Do you wanna try?

See if you can unlock it?

You sure about that?

I live in a fantasy world.

Magne.

...setup you have here.

Yeah, it's great. Right?

Where did you get that?

Looks like it came from Joseph's gallery.

For the teacher's room. My turn to bring some.

I just don't get their whole cake obsession.

They're completely crazy about it.

Sugar, sugar, sugar.

Then they become fat, get diabetes, and die even quicker.

Hi, Yngvild.

Oh, my God, you were just fantastic today. Yeah.

Yeah, I know, if it keeps on going like this then...

Impossible.

Yes.

You should have found that before.

- What are you doing? - What are you doing?

We're facing the greatest threat we've seen in a 1,000 years

and she's in there baking a cake,

while you're eating candy and watching TV.

Yep, we agreed that the system would take care of them.

We haven't agreed on shit.

You and Ran might have agreed, and Fjor can't really be trusted.

He has a human girlfriend.

She's been here, and she's been in your office.

Where is he?

Luckily, I've taken care of it. So he's down there breaking up with her.

- Hey. - Hi.

What did you wanna say?

I...

Nothing.

It's nothing.

But I have something to say to you.

I don't think this will work.

With us...

Because...

I think you're the greatest in the whole world, but...

It's just too much of everything.

It sounds crazy, but now, I'm rewriting our assignment

because it's about your fucking factories and because there's a lot

we're not allowed to say because it's supposed to be a secret...

That's not me.

That's them, it's not me.

Yes, it's you too, Fjor.

And the more I find out, the more I dislike what you stand for.

My dad is home sick because of you.

And I... I don't think you realize it, but I...

think that you don't want anything good

for anyone else, that you only think about yourself.

I want to be with you.

But you can't.

Please.

YOU HAVE ENTERED THE WRONG PASSWORD

PROPERTY OF JUTUL INDUSTRIES A/S ENTRY STRICTLY FORBIDDEN - LETHAL DANGER!

Mmm.

Okay, can I say something?

Mmm-hmm.

I don't know if I can handle this if this is gonna become a thing.

Just saying.

Well, let's leave that hanging while I bring Magne some food.

WARNING! ALL ACCESS PROHIBITED DANGER!

Hey, everybody. I've just visited the glacier right above Edda

and I have discovered something really mysterious and disturbing.

I don't think I need to tell you that the ice is melting up here.

But lo and behold, the melting has revealed a tunnel inside the glacier.

This tunnel right behind me actually belongs to the Jutuls.

And they are hiding something in there.

I don't know what it is yet,

but I guarantee you that I'm gonna find out.

And it wouldn't surprise me if what they were hiding

is actually causing the contamination of the water here in Edda.

PROPERTY OF JUTUL INDUSTRIES A/S ENTRY STRICTLY FORBIDDEN - LETHAL DANGER!

We're almost done for today, people.

It's already become a bit too hot here in the studio.

And speaking of heat, maybe the ice is melting,

but at least we won't die from thirst.

Remember to drink plenty, people.

Hot hits today are sponsored by Jutul Industries.

So I found myself Somewhere down the road

Still not alone, But without no place to go

Anything The blinking of an eye

I turn the corner We'd all close our eyes

Oh, oh, One, two, three, four, five

Ain't this world a wonder?

Five, four, three, two, one You're my lucky number

Six, seven, eight, nine, ten Wake me from my slumber

Ten, nine, eight again You're my lucky number

Oh, oh

My lucky number

Whoa

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

The Seeress' prophecy

Ancient, mythological tale about the creation of the world,

its demise and rebirth.

The Seeress Volven speaks to both gods and men

to tell them how the world will end if they continue their evil, immoral deeds.

Come on!

I didn't even know there was a tunnel up here.

Me neither.

I'm sure it goes all the way to the factory.

They've used it to hide their chemical waste.

What's he doing here?

I had to inform Jutul Industries. They own this part of the mountain.

Magne informed his teacher, and he contacted us.

I understand you were here last night, Magne.

So it was you who broke open the padlock?

Tell me.

What did you see in here?

Two or three thousand barrels.

Isolde's last water sample was from here.

Full of chemical waste.

Lead, cadmium and mercury.

Your barrels are leaking...

into everyone's drinking water.

That would be very serious.

DANGER

I truly hope that we've seen the last of you...

and your outrageous behavior.

EPISODE 6 YES, WE LOVE THIS COUNTRY

Magne has been asked to pack his things and leave the school.

And I'm here to inform you that in all likelihood

he will not be coming back for the rest of the year.

Which means that he won't be able to complete his exam.

Does this have to do with his accusations against Jutul Industries?

I neither can nor will talk about that now.

All of you know that I personally truly only want what's best for Magne.

Is Magne sick?

That's what they're trying to find out, yes.

There will be a psychiatric evaluation.

But I want you to know that a group of teachers

led by Erik came to me with a signed statement

where they state

that it's not safe to let Magne remain here as long as his evaluation is ongoing.

And as principal I'm obliged to listen to them.

Gry, I don't have any choice.

I don't remember. Sometime back in the '60s.

We need to make sure all loose ends are tied up.

Fjor!

Do you understand?

It wasn't illegal at the time.

Where is it?

Where's what?

Look here! Look here.

How many times do I have to tell you? No close contact with humans!

You fucked her here in our home.

So now I'm asking you,

did she steal this photograph of our family?

And take it home as a souvenir?

No, god damn it! She saw nothing.

You can't be in here and not see something.

Are you even aware of the risk you've exposed us to?

Your pathetic emotions might lead to the demise of our family.

Hi, sweetie.

Hi. What are you watching?

How are we doing today?

Besides that "we" were expelled today and that "we" are forced to see a shrink

I think we're doing great. Thanks for asking!

Magne! We need to talk about this, right?

Come on talk!

- Well, this sounds like fun. - We're only just talking things out.

Magne's just gotta understand that he has to see a psychiatrist.

There's a chance of juvenile detention but we'll handle that too.

Maybe we'll have to move, but we'll manage that somehow...

Fucking... Forget it. The shrink won't believe me either.

Like hell I'll move again.

You will do excactly what I tell you! You're my responsibility until you're 18.

You've never taken responsibility for a fucking thing.

Instead, maybe you should try concentrating on being a good mother.

And by the way, we're out of milk.

Now don't let yourselves be devoured by darkness...

The light... is on its way.

What are you talking about?

I don't understand a word you're saying. You just sit there behind the register...

beeping things and spewing nonsense!

It's impossible to understand what you're saying.

I live in the real world. Where are you from?

That will be 629 and 50.

Are you okay?

Well done, bro, she's spiraling again.

Stop staring.

Just go.

You have got yourself tangled up in a fantasy world.

Magne's just gotta understand that he has to see a psychiatrist.

I like you, new kid.

You can't count on anyone wanting to help you.

Not your mother, your brother, or your little pretend girlfriend Gry.

I'm thinking that you think that what you saw was real.

EXAMS - SOCIOLOGY AND SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY QUIET! EXAMS IN PROGRESS

Yeah, I'd say that we should go do something else... cool.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know you want to join. Come on, don't be such a goody goody.

Have you noticed that we're starting to look

more and more like a diversity campaign?

Then you'll fit right in emo.

So, in many ways you can draw the conclusion

that Edda is a textbook example

of a successful town within Norway's welfare system.

Because after all, who's in charge?

We are. Together.

I think you have a very good grasp of your topic, Gry.

Do you have anything to add?

No. I almost want to move to Edda.

- Hmm. - Hmm.

Very good. We'll discuss now.

Yeah. Thank you.

But, it was all irony,

I hope you got that.

- What? - Everyone knows

that it isn't like this in Edda.

We have pollution, the ice is melting,

people lie sick at home but nobody talks about that.

- Gry, I think you need to... - No, I don't need to do anything!

Edda is excactly like so many other Norwegian towns.

We are all dependent on one shitty factory.

And who paid for the new civic center? The new scanner at the hospital,

the new sports arenas we're building down there?

You know what, we, we, we live in North Korea!

Do you know who's gonna give the constitution speech?

How did it go? Did you get an A?

I failed.

- What? - Why's that?

Because I said the whole paper was ironic.

You didn't just write a bad paper?

Isolde was right, and we all know it. We just never talk about it.

We know perfectly well about all the crap in the water

and the strange smells we get all the time.

Uh...

You're just too much. You're not Greta Thunberg.

You're a random student in a small high school

in a tiny town who just flunked her exam.

So what did Magne see up there?

Delusions.

Come on, let's go.

Hi, it's Magne, Turid's son.

I just wanna say that Mom can't come to work today.

She's going to... the doctor. With me. It's important for our family.

Hi, Magne. Good that you came after all.

So, we have been asked to conduct a psychiatric evaluation.

Ida Storlien.

- Nice to meet you. - Hi.

- Hi. Turid. - Ida. A pleasure.

Well, maybe you can take Magne to the office?

Yes? Yes, of course. Magne, follow me.

I understand that this is a tricky situation,

but I promise that we'll take good care of your son.

Thank you.

And a little head massage?

Excuse me just a moment.

- Hi! - Hi.

I need another bottle of that miracle lotion you gave me last time.

- Yes, wasn't that great? Yes. - Fantastic...

Yes.

I'm sorry to hear about Gry and her exam.

I think it's because of Magne.

They spend a lot of time together.

And now he's involved with both the police and psychiatrists...

Yeah...

I just think it's a good idea if we adults keep an eye

on what these lovely youngsters of ours are up to.

Are we doing this?

Laurits.

Are you here?

- Sorry if I... - No, don't worry.

Magne's a bit off his rocker...

Well we're only trying to help him... as best we can.

Yes.

- I have to go. - Yes.

Constitution Day preparations.

I'm sorry. It...

By the way, the... student speech.

Do you think that I could give it this year?

I'll think about it.

No, no, no, no! Power Women runs for you!

- Thank you, Bjørg. - Here you go.

- Okay, now it's us. - Yep.

Uhh, just a trim, right?

Actually I'm... considering going blond.

All right.

Uh...

That's gonna require some chemicals.

Bring it on.

I wrote the speech.

I used parts from the one Saxa wrote in 1974.

No one remembers that one.

"When we celebrate the Constitution Day

we are not only celebrating our country.

It's more than anything the youth..."

I have to take this.

William.

When does the Jutul Trader depart Edda?

Delay it. 24 hours.

I have something that needs to be on it.

2500 steel barrels.

You don't wanna know.

Well, Johan made a deal with Sierra Leone.

William. I don't fucking care, just make it happen.

Good.

Well, everybody,

it's only two days left until the 17th of May

and we're still looking for the wildest student in Vestlandet.

So send your pictures to us

and maybe the family pizza from the Edda grill will go to you.

You shouldn't drink that water.

Listen, I talked with the school. They'll let you redo your exam.

You mean you called your friend Ran?

- Hi. - Hi! Am I interrupting?

No, no come in. How nice. Well, so I...

I'm on my way out for a run.

- Why are you here? - I got something for your dad.

For my dad?

I wanna help.

- Hey dad? - Yes?

Fjor is here.

Okay.

I don't think you've been treated fairly.

What is this?

It's justice...

It's what the insurance would have paid.

250 thousand.

You can't just give 250 thousand to my father!

Why can't I? You need this money.

Yeah maybe, but you can't give away a quarter of a million just like that.

Gry.

This is very very kind of you Fjor...

And I'm sure it feels good to do this kind of thing.

But I cannot accept this.

- Okay, let's drive. - Let's drive.

I just don't get it, how one can be so proud.

If you don't stand for something, you're nothing.

Yes.

But yet you're so fragile.

You get old and sick and you die.

"You"?

It happens to all of us.

Yeah. Yes, of course.

I've never met anyone like you.

You're just so...

perfect, but in a very strange way.

Your whole family is like that for example Saxa, she's always so...

No. Stop.

Forget it.

When it's just the two of us...

everything is fine.

I'm sorry.

My entire family has...

They... uh... were...

were also perfect.

Just like you.

I don't wanna be perfect. I wanna be a good person.

Just like you.

Can you teach me?

EDDA HOSPITAL

Well, Magne and I have had many nice talks these past few days.

And I want to thank you, Magne, for your honesty.

For letting me into your world.

But Magne believes that the world as we know it is about to go under,

and that it's Magne's duty to take action and save us all from annihilation.

Uh, what does that mean?

What we can see is that Magne fulfills

every criteria of a paranoid schizophrenic diagnosis.

The most important thing right now is that Magne is treated

so he's not a danger to others or to himself.

I've written some prescriptions for Ziprasidone and Risperidone,

so you can start the treatment at once.

With these medications you will see Magne become more calm,

less warlike, maybe more passive.

And you may feel a little different for a while.

But this is a necessary treatment for you.

Diagnosis and medicine.

That's a start.

- Talk to you later. - Mmm.

Magne!

I want you to know you were right.

There were 2500 barrels...

They're being shipped off tonight.

I know it's too late to make everything right...

Just wanted you to know.

It's so nice that you're becoming friends.

Should you take a pill now just to start?

Might as well get started.

No.

No, I'm not going to.

I'll be myself.

No, Magne.

You've betrayed the trust of your own family.

You lied about the photograph.

She knows too much.

Yes, Father.

The time has come to prove your loyalty. Kill her.

Happy Constitution Day, everybody!

We will celebrate the day all over the country.

But our thoughts go to everybody in costume,

because damn it, they say it will be no less than 27 degrees today!

To that I think even the Finnish sauna champion would have said,

"Fuck you, damn!"

Hi! Happy Constitution Day!

Magne. Hi. I think it's great that you're here today.

After all that shit you've been through.

- Hello, happy Constitution Day! - Happy Constitution Day!

Happy Constitution Day, Magne.

Listen, uh... You might have heard of that document that I signed...

- I just wanted to... - No, it's fine, Erik.

Okay.

Dear everyone.

Happy Constitution Day!

If you don't do it... then I will.

Normally, it is Flagstad

who acts as host on the constitution day.

Uh, but as most of you have heard she's had to leave her position.

So you will have to make due with me this year.

This is a day of joy...

And we are going to celebrate.

So it's a great honor for me to welcome you all

to the traditional Constitution Day show!

The barrels were here already when we arrived this morning...

We don't know who put them there,

but they fit Magne Seier's description perfectly.

I don't know anything about this.

Vidar. These barrels belong to you.

This is illegal containment of chemical waste.

We will launch a police investigation. I expect you to cooperate.

I think we all need to calm down and talk to the mayor about what's going on.

It's possible things worked like that with my predecessor...

But they won't anymore.

Now I have the great honor of inviting

Saxa Jutul to the stage to sing the national anthem with us.

Yes, we love this country

As it rises forth

Rugged, weathered, over the water

With the thousand homes

Love, we love to think of

Our fathers and mothers

And the saga night that lays

Dreams upon our Earth

And the saga night that lays

Dreams upon our Earth

Where are we going?

I'll show you. It's uh... in there.

- After you. - Okay.

Now I have the great honor of introducing

the school's principal.

So give a round of applause for none other than Ran Jutul!

Dear everyone.

Happy Constitution Day. May 17th.

Yes, we love this country, do we not?

You've-gotta tell me where we're going, this is getting odd.

Just trust me.

There's so much to love.

The youth.

There shall be absolutely no doubt how much I personally love the youth.

I also love our fine old Norwegian democracy.

Seriously, just tell me.

Even though people don't actually

have a say in anything it's nice that they think that they do.

Fjor?

And the country itself.

The pure, beautiful nature.

The pride of Norway. The ice is melting. The climate runs amok.

I'm sorry.

People talk about pollution, but who cares?

That is what makes Norway one of the world's richest countries.

And should there be any eco-friendly national traitors

who don't see any particular reason to love Norway so...

Think of the mountains, my friends.

And ask yourselves...

- Fjor, what's going on? - I have to do this.

...who, do you think, will be the last ones to drown

when all the ice has melted?

We, who live on top of the world.

Magne!

Magne! Magne! Stop!

He's himself again.

He's gonna kill us.

What?

Run. Run!

Many believe that Ragnarok was the end.

They are wrong.

It's where it all starts.
