The Darkness (2024) s01e05 Episode Script

1
Well, hello, hi.
Aw. Aw.
Hi.
Aw, shh
Ah, look.
- There's Mom.
- Please.
Hi.
It's me.
Shh.
Please.
Shh.
Hulda.
Hulda.
Please
just let me touch my baby,
just this once.
Hulda!
Give her back!
- Hulda! Hulda!
- Ma'am
We, uh, do offer
on-site facilities
to take care of the remains,
but if you prefer to do it
Burn him.
Hulda, I'm so sorry.
Has Misha been interrogated yet?
Lukas will handle it.
No.
It's my case. I'm handling it.
Let's, uh, go to my office
and we can talk. Okay?
I need to keep working, Magnus.
Please.
If you want to help,
just let me do my job.
Hulda, hey.
It doesn't matter how I feel.
It I'll have time
for that later.
Right now
Elena is depending
on us to save her.
That's all that matters.
And now,
has Misha said anything yet?
Uh, no. No, not a word.
You and Katja.
We know that you knew Katja,
which means that you lied to us.
You fucking lied to us.
Look, she even drew you.
Hmm.
We also know that you own
a black 4x4 just like the one
that Katja was seen entering.
And you prostitute refugees.
Right?
He organized everything.
Misha. Misha Volkov.
He would bring them, the girls.
And guys. I just paid.
Yeah, you were pimping Katja,
but she became
a problem, didn't she?
Maybe you thought, who would
care about a missing refugee?
And then you took Elena
to shut her up, right?
Her son saw a man
that matches your description.
He basically identified you.
Do the right thing for once
in your miserable life
and tell us.
We know that
you like hurting people.
- Mmm.
- This man.
You assaulted him,
you tortured him.
- Yeah.
- And you will be charged for it.
Did you like
torturing Katja, too?
- Did it make you feel big?
- Mmm.
Yeah.
Tough guy, right?
What a tough guy.
Do you know how many
broken bones she had?
Arms, fingers,
ribs, legs.
Look at the photos,
you fucking coward.
Look at them.
Look at what you did
to this beautiful girl
who had her whole life
ahead of her.
I loved Katja.
I would never hurt her.
And yet you
you prostituted her?
No!
She never did that.
They wanted her to, but
"They"? Who's "they"?
You must tell us
what's going on, Misha.
Where is Elena?
Tell us.
Because if you don't, you'll be
deported back to Russia tonight
and do your time over there.
I don't think
you'll survive that.
So give yourself a chance
and give me their names.
Where's Albert?
I told you, he isn't here.
- So, where is he?
- I don't know.
He hasn't been in for two days.
Did you try calling?
He doesn't answer his phone.
- Search the office.
- What are we looking for?
Some kind of black book.
- A physical one?
- We don't know.
- Yeah?
- Albert isn't home.
No, he's not here either.
- Track his phone ASAP.
- Okay.
Hey.
Hmm.
Leifur, computer.
It's all here.
Just like Misha said.
Look, the clients, the girls
Get this to Tech.
I want every file on this thing
pulled and analyzed.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
Where's this?
Armed police!
All right, clear on the right.
Clear!
We're all clear up here.
Clear.
- Clear.
- Clear.
Oh, what is that?
I think it's lye.
They use it to dissolve bodies.
We've got a fingernail.
It's Elena's.
It's Elena's.
Outside!
Put your hands up!
I said put your hands up.
Will we turn into bats?
No, we're not
gonna be doing that.
Ow!
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm okay.
It's not meant for ice,
not very comfy.
Take it fast. It's cold.
Yeah, it's cold.
You're taking it.
Make us look pretty.
Congratulations, all of you.
- Oh, thank you.
- You did a hell of a job.
Drinks on me.
Just doing my job.
Cheers. Alex.
- Hey, there you are.
- Hey, Hulda.
Well done
Mm-hmm.
- Oh, thanks.
- Where were you?
- Let's go.
- Uh
This is everyone from the USB.
Katja and Elena
aren't there. Why?
Because they weren't
being prostituted.
Then why were they killed?
Because they said no?
That doesn't make sense.
Lukas, we need
to look into this.
- How's my power couple?
- We're good.
Yeah, I can see that.
Mm-hmm.
Can I have a word
with Hulda, please?
Yeah, sure.
Look, uh,
I can't even imagine what
you're going through right now,
but, uh,
you did it.
You fucking did it.
There's still work to be done.
Interrogations, paperwork
Uh, Lukas will take care
of that. Take the win.
Win?
A child lost his mother.
What happens to him now?
I know what you did.
The driver Marta
confessed everything.
I know she told you.
Couldn't live with the guilt,
she said.
So
for the sake of the force
and your career,
I think it's best that you
leave quietly as of tonight.
Just give me till the end
of the week, please.
I-I need to, I need to tie up
a few loose ends, Magnus.
No.
I don't think you should
come back to the station.
I'm sorry.
It's been an honor
working with you.
You're, uh
You're something else.
Yeah, it's all tied up.
Don't have to worry, man.
Stop fucking calling me.
Yeah, no, I'm enjoying it.
You are my pretty love,
baby ♪
You are a light in the dark ♪
It's time ♪
Can I get you anything else?
Yeah! What should we have?
- What should we have?
- Let's have some shots.
-Some shot. Shot. Shot. Shot. Shot.
-Yeah. Shot. Shot. Shot.
Shot You fucking moron!
What the fuck is wrong with you?
- Pig.
- Fucking moron.
- What did you just call me?
- I called you a moron
'cause you are a moron.
- You're a fucking moron.
- Shut up, old bitch.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.
You pig.
Hey, hey, hey, hey,
hey, hey, hey, relax.
Hey, hey, hey.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
It's over. It's over. Stop.
- Guy's an idiot, right?
- Come on. Come on.
-What a fucking asshole.
-It's time to go. It's time to go. Come on.
Yeah, we'll go, Karen,
and I'll see you
- I'll see you at the office.
- It's okay. Thank you.
Yeah.
- Come on.
- Yeah.
That felt great. Right?
- That was yeah, yeah.
- That was good.
- My place is nearby. Be careful.
- Yeah.
Well, I'm not gonna fuck you.
I just want to be clear on that.
-Oh, you want to be clear? You want to be clear?
-Yeah. Yeah.
I have zero interest
in fucking you. Now come on.
Mm-hmm, you're so serious
in your little suits.
Uh, okay.
We're clear.
Where do we go? To your place?
- It's this way. This way.
- What?
Come on.
Hey.
Come on.
- Up we go. Oh-ho.
- Oh-ho.
I think I've made a discovery.
You are not as tidy as you
- Come on.
- were to seem.
- This is not okay.
- Hey. Shh.
Come on, this way.
That's it.
- Ah, this is nice.
- Yeah.
This is your home now.
Might as well embrace it.
Yeah.
- Hey, don't fall asleep.
- Come on.
No.
Come on, take your shirt off.
Oh, I'm not showing you my tits.
No, no. It
Look, it's got blood on it.
Let's go.
I'll chuck it in the wash.
Oh
What?
Hey.
Yeah, it's, uh
It's for Rudi. It's silly.
No. No, it's not.
- Hey, come here.
- I sometimes wonder
how my life
would have been if
if I had felt loved like that.
What do you mean?
I I got taken away
from my mother.
What happened?
Uh, she was too poor.
That's what they did back then.
They-they kept me in this place
until I was four,
until my grandparents
took me in.
That's fucked up.
I have this memory.
All she wanted was to hold me,
and they wouldn't let her in,
no matter how she begged.
Hulda!
Hulda! Hulda!
And I didn't see her again.
I promised myself
I was never gonna leave
my own child.
And, um
in the end
I couldn't protect her.
You're a great mother.
Yes, you are.
I can see it.
Now come on.
Hi.
Hulda, I
I-I don't know
what to say. I'm
- I'm so sorry.
- Okay.
I need you to do me a favor.
Yeah. Anything.
Don't tell Magnus
that you saw me.
Yeah. Of-of course.
Course.
Hmm.
If you, if you need anything,
you know
Okay.
Yeah?
Are you still sleeping?
No, no, I'm awake.
Listen, uh, I know we're still
processing things, but
given the evidence,
we needed to contact the IHS.
What?
Rudi's gonna be transferred
to state care here
while arrangements
are made in, in Russia.
- So I will need you to, uh
- Sorry. Captain.
- liaise with them.
- There you go.
Make sure we've done our part.
Okay?
- Yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah.
- Thanks.
And, uh, Lukas, there's a
- Yeah?
- There's a
I need you to do
one other thing.
Yeah.
You're kidding me.
Fuck.
- Yeah.
- Did you take my car?
Yeah.
Jesus. Where are you?
At home. Come right away.
Naomi Katz.
Came here alone four years ago.
Found on a riverbank.
Ruled accidental drowning.
Are all of these deceased women?
No, deceased foreign women.
But Naomi is the only one
I've found so far
that has a link.
- A link to what?
- Katja and Elena.
All these are clear accidents.
With solid eyewitness
testimonies.
But these here are different.
No witnesses.
Bodies found alone
in the middle of nowhere.
Probably suicides.
Or murder.
Just look at Naomi's body.
Extremely clean.
No dirt,
not even under her nails.
Just like Katja.
Her clothes?
Brand-new. Expensive.
Again, just like Katja.
And here is
what the pathologist wrote.
"No abrasion to the hands,
feet or forehead.
"Unusual since the body washed
downriver and up on land.
"Suggesting a quick drowning
and short time spent
in the water."
So you're saying
that the body was placed there?
A young foreign woman.
Extremely clean,
new clothes, no wounds.
She fits the profile, Lukas.
She fits the profile.
I don't think
the murders are connected
to the prostitution ring.
I think our guy is
still out there,
and Naomi Katz was his first.
Why would Albert have gone
through all that trouble
with Katja and Elena
just to kill himself?
Because he knew
that we had Misha.
He knew the game was up.
Why bother cleaning up
after himself, you know?
Let's compare the prints
in the ice rink with Albert's.
I promise you
it won't be a match.
Well, that's not gonna prove
anything, and you know it.
Katja's clothes were found
stashed in his house.
This is not a coincidence.
Yeah, maybe you're
on to something.
But there's something else.
Magnus called me.
And Rudi's going back to Russia.
And he wants me to tell him
that his mum's dead.
Hey.
Wow. Building a house?
How are you doing?
- Good.
- Good?
Wow.
Hmm.
Rudi.
Rudi, I need to ask you
something, is that all right?
Is this the big,
red man you saw?
- Hulda, I don't think you should be asking
- Shh.
- Are you sure?
- Hulda, please.
- Rudi, this is very important.
- Hulda, stop.
Look at the picture.
This is very important.
Hulda, stop, please.
Come on.
Let's go. Come on.
Please.
- What the hell are you doing?
- What am I doing?
I'm talking
to the only witness we have.
- No.
- That's the only one.
You're not.
You're scaring a child.
A child we have to tell
that his mother's dead
and that he's going away.
- We need to properly interrogate him.
- Hulda, stop.
Why do you keep fighting this?
You're the one
that's fighting, okay?
- But you've crossed the line.
- Fuck you.
You've crossed the line.
No, fuck you!
All good.
All right, see you later.
- All right, take care.
- Thanks, man.
See you guys next week.
Bjartur.
- Can I ask you something?
- Sure.
Did you ever teach a woman
named Naomi Katz?
Naomi Katz?
No. I-I don't think so.
- She had blue hair.
- Blue hair?
Doesn't really ring a bell.
Do you have many students
with blue hair?
I can check my records
if you want,
but I'm usually good with names.
- I'd really appreciate that.
- Anytime.
Can I ask why?
Uh
Let's just call it a hunch.
I'll go home right now
and look it up.
Thanks.
What's wrong, sweetie?
Nothing.
I made dinner.
Take off your clothes.
Hey.
You need to take care of this.
Mm-hmm.
We don't want it
to get infected.
Does it hurt?
It itches.
Oh. That's good.
That's very good.
That means it's healing.
Hmm.
Good as new.
Look at us two.
Get up.
It's not forever.
You know that, right?
Of of course.
I understand.
We have a problem.
There's someone
I need to deal with.
So we can be together.
Hulda?
Hulda!
Hulda! Hulda.
It's okay. It's okay.
I thought
I'm fine.
I was just thinking.
That's a hell of a way
to have to think.
How are you feeling?
The ocean calms me down.
You should go.
You'll catch pneumonia.
- Okay.
- Go home, really.
If you ever need me, I'm around.
Moa, come on.
Petur!
Is something wrong?
Oh.
Ow.
- Ow? What?
- Ow, ow.
- Oh, God, I think I hurt my back.
- Are you okay?
Are you all right?
- Do you want to stop?
- Are you nuts?
Mmm.
Okay, just
Oh, wow.
I better get back.
What?
Can't you stay maybe
a little bit longer, or?
It's getting quite late.
Was? Are you okay?
Wa-Wa-Was-was was that okay?
It was more than okay.
Well can I see you again?
Petur, I can wave to you
from my house.
Well, yeah, but I meant more,
you know, with your clothes off.
All right.
Well, okay, look, let me
at least walk you home.
Oh. Thank the Lord,
a man to walk me home.
Look, I just
When you
came over here the last time
and you kissed me?
Oh, that was horrible.
Right. Well, I
I wanted to say something else.
I thought that I wouldn't get
to feel like that anymore.
And you
you woke me up.
Hi.
What are you doing?
Fuck!
Oh. Thank God.
Police? It's Hulda.
I need backup at my house.
I have a armed intruder.
Man
No.
Oh, no, no. No.
No, no, no, no, no.
Oh, Moa, sweetheart.
Oh, Moa. My sweet girl.
Petur!
Petur!
Hulda, oh, my God.
- You bleeding?
- No, it's not my blood.
Go. Open the door of the car.
Oh, so good. You're a good girl.
Stay there.
- What the hell happened?
- Someone in my house.
- Go.
- Did someone attack you?
Get get Moa to the vet.
But I don't want to go if
there's somebody in your house.
- They're gone. The police
- Okay, go inside
- and lock the doors.
- Yeah.
