How are we doing with the
videos from the blue bag?

Why are you asking now?

Because they could make me rich.

I looked up this Guo Dai
she was talking about.

We're talking kidnapping,
torture and executions.

Don't underestimate this man,
he has diplomatic immunity

and because our government
is all about the China deal

he'll be able to do
whatever he wants.

She was very helpful.

She told us the files were encrypted.

I'd like you to open them.

-I can't.

You have until morning to deliver.

Aren't you gonna introduce
me to the President?

Hell, no.
Have a good time.

You got the files?

I can't access them
without my friend.

You're in deep shit.

Gunna! Wake up!

You have to get on the computer
and get me a copy of the Blue Bag.

I'm talking to people.

What can you tell me about Xi Feng?
-Everything was wrong.

Ever since Guo Dai came.

And Xi Feng did all his dirty job.

Xi Feng.
-Thanks!

Are you going to murder me too?

No. And I didn't kill your master.

And this is how you convince me?

If I had killed your partner,
I would be boasting about it.

But I can't.
Because I'm innocent.

Sorry.

That doesn't mean I won't
start killing now.

You don't know what you're doing.
Untie me now.

Right.

Who killed Guo?

You probably made a profile of
me at the embassy.

Based on what you know,
how far am I willing to go?

You are looking for a foreigner,
not the Chinese.

Chinese wouldn't dare to touch him.

What other Icelanders
has he been bothering?

Guo Dai has tried to get to
the Icelandic negotiation committee,

to find out who was spying for them.
-How did that work out?

Some were easily bought.
Some have a secret to hide.

Did Guo find the spy?
-I don't know.

The secrets he dug up,
were they worth killing for?

I have a document. It has all the dirt
on the Icelandic committee.

Not that it matters now.

They're here to get you!

It's a cruel fate to be the
errand boy of a cruel man.

No pension, no legal rest hours,
no overtime pay.

The minute your master dies
you are dead to everyone.

Except all the people you've
been picking on through the years.

I'd offer my services, but I must admit I don't
know much about how Chinese justice works.

You will not tell anyone.

Did you guys kill Guo?
-No. We told you before.

Right, but... I need documents.
Documents that Xi Feng has.

That can help you in the
fight against these people.

If I can get them I can make myself
disappear and you can get on with...

whatever it is that you're doing.

Is this what you are
looking for?

Yes.

Can I go now?

Stella, help me! Please!

Stella, please help me!

Give my regards to Guo Dai.

Please help me!

The Icelandic negotiation committee is
comprised of five people from five Ministries,

all being World Champions of boredom.

Stefán from the Prime Ministry,

Svava from the Foreign Office,

Lára from the Interior Ministry,

Hrefna from the
Environmental Ministry

and Ingveldur from
the Financial Ministry.

Everything went well at first,
but then they had second thoughts.

The Icelanders were giving too much.

Dagbjört saw this and
focused on the matter.

Sverrir and his pals
took it very badly.

But like an endangered animal
the committee closed ranks,

stuck together and strengthened
in its opposition to the deal.

The Chinese had nothing
against this opposition,

which was based on a keen
insight into the Chinese's plans.

Guo heard of this and saw
an opportunity to save the day

and earn a ticket back home.

As a paranoid psychotic he was
certain the Icelanders had a spy,

so he sent Xi Feng to try to
extort his identity.

Everyone has a secret.
Something to hide.

Show Daddy how to do it.

Is it my fault that I'm
much better than you guys?

It's cheating.
You're stronger.

I read into the wind.
Look, just a soft motion.

Nice.

Look, I need to step
out on a quick errand.

Just keep playing.

Let's practice some more.

Viðar sure has grown.

Why shouldn't I arrest
you right now?

I didn't kill Guo!
-The evidence suggests otherwise.

And your behavior at
the reception didn't help out.

You don't believe me?
-That doesn't really matter.

There's tremendous pressure on us
to solve this matter right now.

Why did you run away?

If I hadn't, I'd be at the mercy
of you and the boys in blue.

Raggi... come on, you know me.

Look at this.

This only proves that Guo was
gathering info on the committee.

They were also all
at the reception that night.

I was removed from the case
because of my connections to you.

What do you want from me?
-It's not a long list.

Goddamn you, Stella.
Let's finish this.

You can cross out these three
as they weren't at the party,

but up North with some
Chinese officials.

These two, Lára and Ingveldur,
were both at the reception,

but their interrogation
yielded nothing.

Do what you want
with that information.

Raggi?
Thanks.

Lára and Ingveldur meet every morning
at the Hilton Spa and plan their day,

according to Guo's files.

I hear you need a good lawyer
for your husband.

Why?
-I know Guo Dai was blackmailing you.

I just want to know what happened,
nothing more.

Ingveldur and her husband are rich
and enjoy a nice and comfy life.

She works with the Ministry
on poor wages,

while her husband is the CEO
of a financial company.

He's also a compulsive gambler
and has taken up embezzlement

from his company to
finance his addiction.

An amount that currently equals
two luxury homes.

They will lose everything
if they're found out.

But the big question is,
is it enough to kill for?

The Chinese were so cocky
at the start of the talks,

but as time passed they
realized that we... mostly Lára,

were asking all the right questions,
that's when they became concerned.

What questions?

Lára found out they were going to
quadruple the personnel in the area,

and that they would all be
part of the Chinese Army.

It was all hidden in vague wording.
-That didn't go well with Guo.

Not at all.
He came to me,

threatened to expose my
husband's embezzlement

if I wouldn't find out how
Lára knew so much.

And what?
-I didn't tell him anything.

I immediately went
and filed for a divorce,

then reported the
embezzlement to the police.

You should have seen
his face when I told him that.

This genius is no murderer.

Yeah yeah I know, it was the only
loaner swimsuit that they had.

Lára Gunnarsdóttir?

The committee chairman,
a respected and revered bureaucrat

with a clean slate.
I'd guess her upbringing was strict.

While her peers tried sex, booze
and drugs, she hid in the library.

Which paid off, top of her class
from all the top schools.

But those repressed urges started
to build up, until it boiled over.

Now she lies to her family that she has to
go to Mali every year for humanitarian work.

In truth she's reliving the years
that the books stole from her.

And letting out all
those suppressed urges.

I'm pretty certain
that's not allowed here.

So is sex with underage
boys in third-world countries.

I'll shut up if you do.

I know that Guo was blackmailing
you with that information.

He came to me a few weeks ago,

knowing that I was the
troublemaker in the committee.

Then he started talking about
some spy, demanded his name.

A spy?
-There isn't one, as far as I know.

Where were you getting
the information from?

From Dagbjört,
the Interior Minister.

Dagbjört?
-She's gone over every detail.

She's really smart.

What did Guo do?

He said that he would
'stop this nonsense'.

Then demanded that I stopped
all resistance.

And what?
-Did you kill him for that?

Me? Heavens, no!

He promised to keep it a secret
if I'd play along. Which I did.

Guo came to me two days ago
and said he'd taken care of it.

I was to let him know every time
Dagbjört would feed me info.

I think he found some dirt on her.

Good to see that you're OK.

Where did you get all the info
that you fed to the committee?

Now what have you dug up?

All the dirt that Guo was using
to blackmail the committee.

You haven't answered
the question.

I read the data,
and drew the right conclusions.

I'm good at what I do.

Guo said he had found a way
to stop you just before he died.

What did he have on you?

You.

He had you.

He knew about us,
and used it against me.

Was it you with him
in the bathroom?

Do you think the police would have
let me go, if I had been?

No Stella, I was talking to the
Chinese President.

Surrounded by witnesses.

Oh my God!

I can't get anywhere
with this damn case.

Then I'm not helping you
with the latest news.

I just got back from a meeting with
Sverrir and the Foreign Minister.

We just received a formal
extradition request.

They want to try you in China. Trial?
-They can't do that.

The murder was committed
on Icelandic soil.

You know how Sverrir and his cronies
are about the China deal.

They'd sell the kidneys
from their own kids for that deal.

So they'll approve it?
-Yes.

Do they know anything
more about the murder?

Preliminary autopsy says he
died from allergic reaction.

Guo had a severe nut allergy.

They found it on his penis, which the police
consider a clue that the killer was a woman.

Or maybe Guo played on both teams.
-Who knows?

You have to help me.

I'll do what I can.
But it'll be tough.

Any word on the Blue Bag?

Stella!

All other ways are closed,
the Blue Bag is all we have.

Give it to me,
and I'll have leverage.

Planning on blackmailing
your way to Prime Minister?

For you.

It's still encrypted,
so it's of no use.

Gunna is still not
healthy enough to crack it open.

I'd try to fix her up.

I just want you to be safe.

Be careful.

No way out.

The password to the Blue Bag
is not about to fall from the sky.

So the videos are just as
useless as before.

And I'm just as fucked.

Gunna is about as useful as
a German in an improv jazz band.

Just staring into space, trying
to reclaim her short-term memory.

What's on your mind?
-It doesn't look good.

What's on your mind?
-Do you remember what I said?

How long do you think
this will take?

It will take time.
-We don't have time!

There must be something
that you can do!

Hey, Stella!
Fuck you!

Really, fuck you!

Are you pressuring me,
right now?!?

Because of you,
I'm missing a finger!

This is what I use to type 'o',
and commas and semi-colons

and because of you
all my emojis have no eyes!

So when I say that something
takes time, it fucking takes time!!!

I'm sick, I'm dizzy
and I wanna watch Star Trek.

I'm sorry.

I know I can be a bit of a bitch sometimes.

Sometimes.

Mostly you're just a
borderline psychopath.

Which admittedly has its advantages.

Look... please don't
have another episode,

but I was thinking.

You said that it's a 40-60
character-long password,

how do people remember them?
-They usually hide them somewhere,

in a bogus text file, e-mail,
whatever.

I've been through Halla's laptop,
there's nothing there.

That was her private laptop.
What about her work laptop?

That could well be, where is it?

Are we stupid?

EVIDENCE #7: MACBOOK PRO
PROPERTY OF HALLA GUNNARSDÓTTIR

I'll call Raggi.

Where's the laptop?
-Stella...

I'm sorry, I would have lost my job.

You're so high up on my
shit list now, Raggi!

Don't make a scene.

Car 110 to Central.
-Responding.

Prisoner escaped in transit
and is on the run! In pursuit!

Huh, what?
What are you on about?

It will be so good
to be rid of you...

You're like some crazy ex-girlfriend
that just won't ever leave.

Don't lie to us,
you've never had a girlfriend.

No one would date you
wearing that terrible aftershave...

Are we far now?

I'm 15 minutes away from
killing this witch!

Cool it. We get paid for
bringing her in alive.

They won't be as gentle with
you as I am.

You can't do this!

I heard them talk about sending you
to China in several pieces.

Something about wire cutters...

Stella!
Come on!

What happened?
-Spot of trouble.

Here.
Where am I now on the shit list?

What will you do?
-I'll think of something.

Hi, it's Raggi here.
I just had a car crash.

How long?

We don't even know if it's there.

What happened, Stella?

A short debate about my
future place of residence.

Wait wait wait...
Here's something.

A Word-document under 'recipes'.
Guess what?

What?

I think I got it.

Hello, Halla.

Here comes the cavalry.

With leather masks.

Home alone?

Yes.

Alexander and Perla are at a
basketball camp for the weekend.

So won't you let me in?

Wanted murderer found
in Interior Minister's home?

Alleged wanted murderer.
If asked, I was turning myself in.

Besides... I have a present for you.

And this is the only copy?
-Yeah.

Nicely done, Stella!
-And Halla.

There's enough here to twist
Sverrir's arm and sort out this mess.

I'll have the extradition
request denied

and you keep a low profile
for the next couple of days.

This changes everything.

She was your leak.

The ambassador's wife,
your childhood friend!

Stella...
-It was her that killed him, right?

Isn't that so, Dagbjört?

Of course she did.

What have you done?

What was needed, Stella.

Sweetie, you have everything?
Let me see.

Your Daddy will take your bags.

How do you do.
Going somewhere?

I'm calling the police.
-Please do.

I was just thinking
I should turn myself in.

One question though,
maybe you can answer it.

Who do you think will be here first?
the police, or the Chinese?

They're probably
tapping the police lines.

And what will you tell them about
your involvement in Guo Dai's death?

Or would you like me to do that?

What do you think you know?

You've been feeding Dagbjört
with intel from the embassy.

Guo found out.

Do you want us to continue
this conversation in front of them?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Guo has been an uncomfortable
presence at the embassy,

looking for something that'll
get him a ticket back home.

He saw an opportunity when the
China deal started to go sour,

and discovered who was the spy.

He confronted you about leaking
information to the committee

and backed it up with evidence.
Threatened you and your husband.

Probably your daughter as well.

Your future in Iceland was over.
Or just your future, period.

Are you gonna deny this?

Guo Dai wanted to uncover me
and get back home.

He was also a cruel and
sadistic misogynist.

He said that he'd give us time,
if we'd do as he said.

He wanted our daughter.
I had to do something.

So I begged him for mercy,
but instead...

he ordered me to bring her to him,
to bring her into the bathroom.

I couldn't do it.

And meanwhile you showed up,
and followed him to the bathroom.

And I realized... if I was gonna
do something, now was the time.

I knew about his allergy,
so I went into the kitchen

and found a jar of peanut butter.

I used the staff entrance
to the bathroom.

You were still in there when
I got there, so I knocked

and hoped that he would
throw you out.

Get out!

But when he opened the door,
I didn't even know how to poison him.

I offered myself instead
of our daughter.

He didn't take long to agree.

It only took a few seconds
for the allergy to kick in.

And then I took the blame for you.
-The choice is between you and us.

One life against four.

When did Dagbjört know
that you had killed Guo?

Right away.
She helped me hide the EpiPen.

What does she know?
-Everything.

She warned us to leave
as we were about to be uncovered.

But you know it was Dagbjört that-

They'll be killed.
-I'm sorry it had to end this way.

But no one forced them
to spy for us.

They made that call themselves,
knowing what might happen.

And the girl?
And their unborn child?

What game are you playing at?
-It's no game.

Then what?
-I did what I needed to do.

Needed?
For what?

What's so valuable that you will sell
out your pregnant friend and her family?

How did you know we were here?
Are you working with the Chinese now?

I know you were working with Guo.

That's how he learned I had the Blue
Bag, and so quick to find me.

Don't get caught up in the past.

When Guo found you, did you give up
Sara's name right away?

No. Of course not.
You offered him a deal.

You'd name the spy, and instead
he'd get the Blue Bag from me.

Sicced on me like a hunting dog.
Probably just to scare me, right?

You were startled when you heard
he'd cut Gunna's finger off.

And you knew that the videos
were encrypted.

That must have been
a slap in the face,

having just betrayed
your childhood friend.

When Sara killed Guo, there was
nothing left but to improvise

and hope that I'd decrypt the videos.
A bet that paid off perfectly.

And now you're left
with the keys to the kingdom.

I don't have time for
such conspiracy theories.

Treason.

Plotting a coup with an agent of
another state counts as treason.

It would have been a bigger treason
to let Sverrir, that clown,

continue to sink the country
with greed and incompetence.

I wish I could have
done this differently,

but as long as the nation picks
its leaders based on their charms

instead of competence and facts,
someone will have to intervene.

We can't let the nation place
more idiots in positions of power!

Someone must do something!
-No matter the cost?

There are greater interests at stake.
Bigger than me, or you.

Stella!

I chose you.

Well... I don't choose you.

We're awaiting the press conference
at the Prime Minister's office,

as major events have taken place
in local politics.

Sverrir Kristjánsson has
resigned as Prime Minister,

and Dagbjört Konráðsdóttir
will replace him.

While we wait we'll talk with
political analyst Hulda Þórisdóttir.

What does this mean?
Will more Ministers resign?

It's too close to call and we're
all awaiting further news,

but we know that Dagbjört has
opposed Sverrir numerous times

HULDA ÞÓRISDÓTTIR
POLITICAL ANALYST

on various topics, including
the China deal.

So it's just changing of the guard,
but a change in policy?

Possibly, but this is very
surprising news.

No one suspected last night that
a healthy man like Sverrir

would resign due to health reasons.
No one knows what's going on,

whether there's more to come
or just a very sudden illness.

I have to cut you off, as we've
been told that we're going live

as the press conference downtown
is about to begin.

LIVE BROADCAST FROM THE MINISTRY

Here are the Ministry keys,

their story is as long
as that of this office.

I'll leave it up to you to figure
out which key opens what door.

Otherwise I just wish you
the best of luck. -Thanks.

Congratulations.
-Thanks.

Good day.

DAGBJÖRT KONRÁÐSDÓTTIR
PRIME MINISTER

I'll begin by thanking
my predecessor.

All my life I've tried to be a role
model for a new era in politics.

Part of which involves never to get
entrenched in old rivalries

and have the option
to change my opinion,

which is far too rare in Iceland.

I sat down at an informal meeting
with the Chinese government

to plan our next step.
We met half-way in between

and had honest and sincere
talks about past events.

It was surprising to see how
open the Chinese were to

changing the parameters
of the China deal.

We discussed thoroughly all of
my known concerns

and resolved those matters
amid an air of friendship.

It is a great pleasure to announce
that talks between China and Iceland

will resume in the coming weeks.

I hope to finish the negotiations
quickly and efficiently.

The revised deal will mark a new
step in our two nation's friendship,

and will be of great benefit
to the entire nation.

Personally I hope that
the changes made to the deal

to address the concerns of its
opponents will bring reconciliations

and that the nation can unite
behind this important matter.

Thank you.

Right. A herald of new politics.
Bon fucking appétit, bitch.

Raggi decided not to quit the force,

but I think he should
re-take the entrance exam.

I'd pay to watch that.

Gunna is recovering,
minus a finger, of course.

She's becoming her old self again.

Not even Guo can
beat the nerd out of her.

Hello?
-Stella?

Haukur here.

The man you put behind bars.
-Well, hello.

How's life in the slammer?
Are the other boys playing nice?

I just saw the news.
About Dagbjört.

What made you want
to call me about that?

I need a lawyer.
-Hitting the prison booze too hard?

I know things about Dagbjört.
And I'm ready to talk.
